Church of Sacred Heart, Lourdes, Catholic church in Lourdes, France.

The Church of the Sacred Heart is a neo-Romanesque building 56 metres long, 26 metres wide and 25 metres high, with three naves in a Latin cross plan and a 65-metre bell tower. Its grey-beige facade has a central section with tall arched louvered windows, a small round clock face and a statue in a niche above the entrance. The tower is in Lourdes stone, while the rest used stone from Angoulême.

Built between 1875 and 1903, this church replaced the older Saint-Pierre church where Bernadette Soubirous had worshipped. Its construction came during a period when Lourdes was becoming an important religious center.

The old parish church of Saint-Pierre, where Bernadette Soubirous was baptised on 9 January 1844, was demolished in 1904; part of its furnishings went to the chapel of Lourdes Castle and part to the new church. The new building was blessed in July 1875 by Bishop César-Victor Jourdan of Tarbes, before work stopped in 1877 on the death of Abbé Dominique Peyramale, the parish priest who had initiated it.

Located in the upper area of Lourdes at Place de l'Eglise, the church sits apart from the main sanctuaries, separated by the castle hill. The grounds are accessible on foot, and visitors should dress appropriately for a sacred space.

The structure features neo-Romanesque design with soaring interior spaces that draw the eye upward. Its elevated location above the castle offers visitors a different vantage point for viewing the sacred sites of Lourdes.
