Église Saint-Louis, Religious monument in Vincennes, France.
Église Saint-Louis in Vincennes is a church building constructed from reinforced concrete with two large pairs of arches that cross each other at right angles. The structure supports an octagonal lantern at the top featuring three substantial stained glass windows.
Construction started in 1914 under architects Jacques Droz and Joseph Marrast but was interrupted during World War I. The building reached completion in 1924, with interior artistic decoration continuing until 1927.
The name honors King Louis IX, who ruled France in the 13th century and was later canonized as a saint. Inside, visitors encounter artworks by Maurice Denis and other craftspeople that fill the spaces with color and spiritual meaning.
The building stands at the intersection of rue Fays and rue Céline-Robert and serves its religious community with regular services. Visitors should remember this is an active place of worship and conduct themselves respectfully during their time inside.
The building was constructed using an interesting blend of modern concrete combined with traditional materials such as millstone and red brick. This combination shows how the structure bridged historical construction methods and new building techniques of the 1920s.
