Saint-Louis-des-Chartrons
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Church of Saint-Louis-des-Chartrons is a Roman Catholic church located in Bordeaux, France. It is a gothic revival church dedicated to Saint Louis, king of France (1214–1270).
Saint-Louis Church was built between 1875 and 1879 following the plans of Charles-Louis Brun, a Bordelais architect. [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).
