St. Augustine's Church, St. Augustine

The Church of St. Augustin, located on the square of the same name, was built in 1860-1871 in an eclectic style (a mixture of Gothic and Byzantine style). The famous architect Victor Baltar worked on the creation of this amazing structure for about eleven years. Its length is 100 m, the dome rises 80 m. It was one of the first buildings of this size in Paris, built on a metal frame and overlaid with natural stone. The facade depicts four authors of the Gospel, above them - Jesus with 12 apostles and a window-outlet with stained glass windows depicting bishops and Christian martyrs. Inside the church is a dome painted by the famous French painter Bouguereau. The organ of St. Augustin was one of the first to use electricity.
