History and description

Saint-Louis Church was built between 1874 and 1880 following the plans of Pierre-Charles Brun.[1] Consecration occurred in 1895 by Mgr Lecot. It is 60.35 meters long by 23 meters wide and 22.26 meters high under vaults.[2] The high towers measure 58 meters and are visible from all over the city[3] above the elegant quartier des Chartrons (Chartrons district), on the north of Place des Quinconces.

The stained-glass windows are particularly remarkable; they come from the workshops of Henri Feur (1899) and Nicolas Lorin (1879, in the choir).
