Église des Saints-Archanges, Romanian Orthodox cathedral in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, France

Église des Saints-Archanges is a Gothic chapel built in 1375–1379 by Raymond du Temple for the Collège de Dormans, at 9bis rue Jean-de-Beauvais in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. Its pale stone facade, rebuilt in the late 19th century, has a steep gable, a pointed-arch window with tracery and a portal whose tympanum is a 1926 mosaic of the three archangels. Inside, a five-bay nave is covered by the original timber roof frame by Jacques de Chartres.

Built from 1375 to 1379 by architect Raymond du Temple for the Collège de Dormans of the old University of Paris, the chapel was first dedicated to Saint John the Evangelist. After the college was suppressed during the Revolution, the buildings served as a meeting place for the Panthéon revolutionary section, then as barracks from 1801 to 1855 and a Dominican convent from 1868. Saved from demolition by historian Jules Quicherat, the chapel was bought by Romania in September 1882, restored for ten years and consecrated in 1892.

The church is dedicated to the archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. Its 1926 tympanum mosaic by Guibert-Martin shows the three haloed figures above the doors, and the name of the street, rue Jean-de-Beauvais, recalls Jean de Dormans, bishop of Beauvais, who founded the college served by this chapel.

The church stands at 9bis rue Jean-de-Beauvais, a short walk from the Maubert-Mutualité and Cluny-La Sorbonne metro stations in the 5th arrondissement. The painted panel of the three archangels above the doors and the 1926 mosaic tympanum can be seen from the street through the iron gate. The Dumitru-Stăniloae Centre holds courses on site and streams them on Apostolia TV.

The Dumitru-Stăniloae Center housed within this building offers theological training including online classes via YouTube for people worldwide. This makes the church an unusual place for digital religious learning in the heart of Paris.
