Église Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul de Sarcelles

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.

Construction of this house of worship started around 1130 as a Romanesque building with a later bell tower. Major transformations occurred between the late 15th century and 1540, creating its current appearance with mixed architectural elements from different periods.

The place of worship belongs to the Diocese of Pontoise and continues to serve as a spiritual gathering space for the local community. The carved portals display the skill of medieval and Renaissance craftspeople, visible in their ornamental stone details.

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 bell tower has decorative sound openings with carved capitals on all four sides, showing the craftsmanship of medieval stonemasons. Its pyramidal roof was rebuilt around 1880 and has maintained that structure to the present day.
