Saint-Sulpice Seminary, Catholic seminary at Place Saint-Sulpice, Paris, France.
The neoclassical structure comprises four interconnected three-story buildings arranged around an interior courtyard, following Italian palace design principles.
City architect Étienne-Hippolyte Godde designed this building between 1820 and 1838 for the Society of Priests of Saint Sulpice.
The seminary shaped French clerical education until 1906, when the law separating Church and State led to its closure.
Located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, the building now houses offices of the French Ministry of Finance.
The building contains a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary, featuring stained glass windows and an ornate coffered ceiling.
