Église Sainte-Cécile de Boulogne-Billancourt, Catholic church in Boulogne-Billancourt, France
The église Sainte-Cécile de Boulogne-Billancourt is a church featuring neoclassical architecture in a suburb of Paris. Its interior is divided by Tuscan columns into a central nave and side aisles, which are decorated with wooden statues.
The building gained parish status in 1963 and underwent major renovation in 1965. These changes solidified its role as a religious center in the community.
The church honors Saint Cecilia, patron saint of musicians, through a wooden statue holding a lyre positioned in the right side aisle. This musical dedication shapes the spiritual character of the place.
The church is located on rue de l'Est and remains open for religious services and spiritual gatherings. Visitors should check opening times as access varies depending on the schedule of activities.
Three bells were cast by the Voegelé-Bollée foundry in Strasbourg and installed in 2021 after the construction of the first bell tower. This addition came after many years of planning by the parish community.
