Église Saint-Sacrement de Lyon, Gothic Revival church in 3rd arrondissement, Lyon, France

Église du Saint-Sacrement is a Catholic church with a Latin cross plan and three aisles, combining neo-Gothic and neo-Byzantine elements in the 3rd arrondissement. Its interior has frescoes, statues, and stained glass windows by Georges Décôte, while a small unfinished bell tower rises above the roof.

A temporary wooden hall was built in 1875 to serve the poor workers of La Guillotière, and the permanent church was constructed between 1905 and 1920. Architect Louis Sainte-Marie-Perrin led the building work after Archbishop Ginoulhiac initiated the parish in 1874.

The name of the church points to the Eucharist, a central rite for the Catholic parish, and the stained glass scenes reflect this focus through images of the Last Supper and communion. Inside, the white marble altar with a relief of a lamb carrying a flag gives worshippers a direct visual link to that devotion.

Visitors can walk around the building to observe its stone details and enter quietly to avoid disturbing ongoing services. The area around the church has small shops and local streets that are easy to explore on foot.

The bell tower was never completed, leaving a visible stump above the roofline that marks the church from the surrounding streets. The first parish priest, Father Pierre Bridet, worked directly with families living in slums to set up the community before the permanent building existed.
