Église Saint-Genès des Carmes de Clermont-Ferrand, 13th-century Catholic church in Clermont-Ferrand, France.
Église Saint-Genès des Carmes is a 13th-century church with multiple naves and lateral chapels that organize its interior space. A 19th-century bell tower crowns the facade and shapes how the building looks from outside.
Carmelite monks established an initial structure here in 1290 on the site of a former convent. The main building rose between 1315 and 1329 and has shaped the city's religious life ever since.
The church is named after an early Christian martyr and reflects the deep religious traditions of the city. Today, visitors can sense how the space has served as a gathering place for believers across centuries.
Access to the building is through Rue Neuve des Carmes, where it sits along the street. For details about visiting times, it helps to contact the local information office beforehand.
A grand organ installed in 1900 sounds within the building and contributes to the city's musical heritage. This instrument draws music lovers and curious visitors who want to experience the sound of this historical work.
