Comments

One of the oldest churches in Paris, Saint-Pierre is the only remnant of the Montmartre Abbey.
Begun in 934 on the site of a Merovingian church, it was consecrated in 1147 by Pope Eugene III, and for over 6 centuries was both a parish church and a Benedictine abbey church for women. Its style is Gothic, but the nave vaults were rebuilt in the 15th century, while the three bronze doors date from 1980.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

C'est l'une des plus anciennes églises de Paris, Saint-Pierre, seul vestige de l'Abbaye de Montmartre.
Commencée en 934 à l'emplacement d'une église mérovingienne, elle fut consacrée en 1147 par le pape Eugène III, puis, pendant plus de 6 siècles, elle fut à la fois église paroissiale et église abbatiale bénédictine de femmes. Son style est gothique, mais les voûtes de la nef furent reconstruites au 15ème siècle, tandis que les trois portes de bronze datent de 1980.
