Église Saint-Denys d'Arcueil, Gothic church in Arcueil, France.

The church features a rectangular plan with nine bays, including a central nave flanked by two side aisles and cylindrical columns with animal sculptures.

The construction of Saint-Denys Church occurred in two phases between 1220 and 1250, with the choir completed first, followed by the nave sections.

The interior columns display carved capitals depicting narrative scenes from religious stories, showcasing medieval French stone carving techniques and artistic expression.

Saint-Denys Church stands at 32 Rue Émile Raspail in Arcueil, near the RER B Arcueil-Cachan station, making it accessible by public transportation.

The church structure served as an experimental prototype for architectural elements later incorporated into the construction of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris.
