Sacristy of Notre-Dame de Paris, Gothic sacristy at Notre-Dame Cathedral in 4th arrondissement, France.
The sacristy, designed by architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, stands at the southern side of Notre-Dame Cathedral with stone walls and ribbed vaults matching the cathedral's architecture.
Built between 1844 and 1864, the sacristy replaced an earlier structure by Jacques-Germain Soufflot that was damaged during the riots of 1830 and 1831.
The main hall features stained glass windows by Laurent-Charles Maréchal depicting bishops of Paris, while cloister galleries display scenes from Saint Genevieve's life.
The sacristy functions as storage for liturgical vestments and sacred vessels, providing direct access to the main altar for clergy during religious ceremonies.
The sacristy roof houses beehives introduced in 2013, maintaining a colony of Brother Adam bees that contribute to urban biodiversity.
