Choisy Cathedral, Classical cathedral in Choisy-le-Roi, France
Choisy Cathedral is a classical church in Choisy-le-Roi featuring a three-level interior nave, a rectangular bell tower, and a Mansard roof. The spaces inside show careful proportioning typical of 18th century design.
The first stone was laid in 1748 under King Louis XV, with architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel overseeing construction until completion in 1760. The building rose during a period of significant royal building activity and has shaped the town since then.
The name honors two saints who held significance for the local community, reflecting the spiritual importance this place has maintained since its origins. Today, visitors can sense this long connection to faith as they walk through the interior spaces.
The building stands on Place de l'Eglise in the town center and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should come during opening hours and remember this is an active religious site where respectful behavior is expected.
The building was connected to royal gardens through a private passage that allowed the king to move between the two places discreetly. This hidden connection reveals how closely intertwined religious and court life were at the time.
