Église de l'Immaculée-Conception de Lyon, Byzantine Revival church in 3rd arrondissement of Lyon, France.
Église de l'Immaculée-Conception is a church building featuring Byzantine Revival architecture with an octagonal dome supported by slender columns. The interior follows a Latin cross layout with side chapels and an ambulatory that connects these spaces.
Construction took place in two phases, with the nave built from 1856 to 1859. The choir and side chapels were completed later, between 1889 and 1893, finishing the overall design.
The interior displays twelve sets of stained glass windows by Lucien Bégule that show religious scenes through detailed artistic work. These windows shape how light fills the space and create visual meaning as you walk through.
The space is open to visitors and hosts regular mass services, weddings, and special ceremonies throughout the year. It is best to check visiting times in advance, as hours can vary depending on religious services and events.
The building used innovative construction techniques of its time to support the weight of the vaults with groups of thin columns. This clever support system allowed for a wide open interior space beneath the dome.
