Église Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul de Sarcelles, Gothic church in Sarcelles, France

Église Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul de Sarcelles is a church building combining architectural styles from multiple periods. Its interior is divided into three aisles arranged in six bays each, with the first four bays showing flamboyant Gothic details and the final two displaying early Gothic characteristics.

Around 1130 a Romanesque bell tower and probably a choir were built; the tower is the oldest surviving part. Around 1220 the whole church was rebuilt in early Gothic style, keeping only the upper tower, whose base was entirely underpinned. In the late 15th and early 16th centuries the nave and aisles were rebuilt in Flamboyant Gothic, and the Renaissance west facade followed in the 1540s under Francis I.

The parish belonged to the archdiocese of Paris throughout the Ancien Régime and was one of its most important by the mid-18th century, seat of a deanery covering Argenteuil, Taverny and Villiers-le-Bel. Since 1966 it has depended on the bishop of Pontoise. The south portal of the third bay was paid for by Guy de Plessis, lord of Sarcelles from 1514, and his brother Charles.

Visiting is possible throughout the year with standard interior access. The south entrance provides the best view of the decorative stonework and carved details that visitors generally want to see.

The tower's stone spire is a late Romanesque survival: the bell tower dates from around 1130, and when the rest of the church was rebuilt in early Gothic style around 1220, only the emerging upper part of the tower was kept. Its base was entirely underpinned, so no Romanesque masonry remains visible inside.
