Description
The Church of Saint-Séverin (French: Église Saint-Séverin) is a Roman Catholic church in the 5th arrondissement, or Latin Quarter, of Paris, on the lively tourist street Rue Saint-Séverin. It was constructed beginning in 1230, then, after a fire, rebuilt and enlarged in the 15th to 17th centuries in the Flamboyant Gothic style. It was the parish church for students at the University of Paris, and is one of the oldest churches that remains standing on the Left Bank.
Gothic arches and vibrant stained glass windows create a serene and majestic atmosphere inside the church. A statue and candle-lit altar add to the sacred ambiance of the space.
