Église Saint-Gilles de Bourg-la-Reine
Église Saint-Gilles de Bourg-la-Reine, Neoclassical church in Bourg-la-Reine, France
The Saint-Gilles Church features a basilica layout with a main facade decorated by Ionic columns and a bell tower containing five bells.
The current building, constructed between 1835 and 1837 by architect Auguste Molinos, replaced an original church from 1152 built by Montmartre Abbey nuns.
The parish of Bourg-la-Reine, established in 1200 after separating from Bagneux, maintains regular spiritual events and organ concerts throughout the year.
The church contains a Dominique Oberthür organ from 1978, named Jean-Noël, which received restoration work in 2014 to improve its mechanical settings.
The oldest bell in the tower dates from 1780 and survived the French Revolution when many church bells were melted down.
