Église Saint-Pierre-le-Puellier, Romanesque church in central Orléans, France.
Église Saint-Pierre-le-Puellier is a Romanesque church in central Orléans standing at the intersection of Rue des Tanneurs and Rue de la Tour. The stone building displays characteristic medieval arches and vaults with preserved details from several construction periods.
Construction of the church began in the 12th century, making it the oldest surviving religious building in the city. The structure was rebuilt in the 13th and 16th centuries, adapting to the needs of different periods.
The deconsecrated building now serves as an exhibition space reflecting the city's artistic life. Visitors can discover contemporary installations and photography projects that change throughout the year.
The building stands about 100 meters (330 feet) from the Loire River and is easily reached on foot. Access is typically available in the afternoon, but it is wise to check exact opening times in advance.
An architect named Benoît Lebrun purchased the building during the French Revolution in 1793 when such national properties were sold. This private initiative saved the structure from decay and shaped its history to this day.
