Church of Saint-Antoine-des-Quinze-Vingts, Romanesque Revival church in 12th arrondissement, Paris, France.
The Church of Saint-Antoine-des-Quinze-Vingts is a Romanesque Revival building on Avenue Ledru-Rollin with a prominent bell tower combining brick and stone. The structure features rounded arches and clear geometric proportions typical of early 20th-century church design.
The parish was established in 1791 following the French Revolution and took more than a century before a new building could be constructed. The church was completed in 1903 and officially dedicated in 1909.
The church name refers to a medieval hospital for the blind that once defined this neighborhood and became part of the district's identity. It remains a gathering place where locals feel connected to the area's past through its presence.
The church sits near Ledru-Rollin metro station and is served by multiple bus lines for easy access. Regular services occur on Saturdays and Sundays, though checking exact times ahead of your visit is helpful.
In 2005 the church received non-figurative stained glass windows that added contemporary elements to the traditional architecture. These modern installations create an interesting contrast between the historic structure and current artistic expression.
