Église Saint-Honoré-d'Eylau, avenue Raymond-Poincaré, Roman Catholic church in 16th arrondissement of Paris, France.
Église Saint-Honoré-d'Eylau is a church building with a metal frame structure located at avenue Raymond-Poincaré, featuring a facade that blends neo-Gothic elements with Ligurian Romanesque details. The building contains a functioning worship space and a crypt that serves as a venue for various events and gatherings.
Built in 1896 as a temporary chapel annex to the original church, this structure became an independent parish church in 1974. This transition marked its shift from an auxiliary building to a central place for the neighborhood's religious community.
The church serves as a meeting place where Jewish and Christian communities gather to discuss psalms together in rotating sessions. These regular interfaith gatherings reflect the neighborhood's commitment to religious dialogue and mutual understanding.
The building is located on a well-accessible avenue and offers regular liturgical services along with access to its various spaces. Visitors should note that access may vary depending on the type of event or service taking place.
The church contains art deco stained glass windows created by master glassmaker Félix Gaudin, depicting various saints through colored glass compositions. These decorative windows showcase the craftsmanship characteristic of early twentieth-century religious spaces.
