Sainte-Anne de la Butte-aux-Cailles

Completed in 1912 to designs by the architect Prosper Bobin, Sainte-Anne is in a very free Romano-Byzantine style, with two great towers. It stands on the fill that covers the Bièvre, carried on piles driven into the bedrock at depths of 16 to 22 meters. Charles Mauméjean designed its windows, and the Mauméjean workshops also made its mosaics. It was listed as a historic monument in 2018, and restoration work began in 2022. The photograph of 2018 shows Saint Anne and the young Virgin in a carved niche framed by columns and a pediment.
