Église du Gésu, Religious monument in Toulouse, France
The Église du Gésu features a 23-meter-high vault, stone carvings on its facade, and intricate stained glass windows created by Louis-Victor Gesta in 1866.
Built between 1854 and 1861 by architect Henri Bach, the church served as a Jesuit novitiate until restrictions on religious orders led to its closure in 1880.
The interior decoration contains themes dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and notable figures of the Society of Jesus, with paintings by Auguste Bach.
Located at 22 bis rue des Fleurs, the former church now functions as a concert venue, particularly for organ performances since its renovation in 2006.
The Aristide Cavaillé-Coll organ from 1864, designated as a historical monument in 1977, contains twenty-four stops across two manual keyboards.
