St. Merry's Church

The construction of this church began on the site of the old chapel in 1520 and continued for 100 years. The church is named by the abbreviated name of the abbot of the Monastery of Saint-Martin – St. Mederic, who is also buried in one of the chapels of the church. Over time, the church was constantly restored.

During the Renaissance, a new building was built in its place. A few centuries later the church was rebuilt in the Baroque style. Under King Louis XV, the church was rebuilt again.

Inside it, most of the interior has been preserved from the XVIII-XIX centuries. But from the church remained the bell tower, which belongs to the XIV century and is the oldest bell tower in Paris. In addition, this temple remained stained glass windows of the XVI century and some architectural details, as well as the organ of the XVII century, which played the famous composer – Camille Saint-Saëns.
