Église Sainte-Anne-la-Royale, Catholic church in 7th arrondissement, France

The Église Sainte-Anne-la-Royale stands on rue de Lille, featuring a design that combines classical architectural elements with curved structural forms.

Construction of the church began in 1644 under architect Guarino Guarini but ended prematurely in 1662 when a fire damaged the incomplete structure.

Anne of Austria commissioned this church as part of Cardinal Mazarin's inheritance, marking a period of religious architectural development in Paris.

The original structure's foundations remain visible through cadastral plans, showing its position between Quai Voltaire and Rue de Lille.

Guarini designed an innovative nave with mathematical precision, incorporating curves that differed from traditional French church architecture of that period.
