Saint-Pierre-de-Montrouge

Émile Vaudremer built Saint-Pierre-de-Montrouge between 1863 and 1872. He drew on Early Christian, Byzantine and Romanesque references in a work above all rationalist, seeking a balance between form, function and economy of materials. The spire of its bell tower, which rises to 58 meters, was taken down stone by stone and rebuilt in a restoration that ran from 2020 to 2022. The photograph of March 2024 looks past the canopy on columns over the altar to a gold-ground image of Christ.
