Heritage Days 2024: visit to the Holy Trinity Church construction site

Paris is bursting with architectural treasures, and the capital's churches are no exception! For this 41st edition of the Journées du Patrimoine, most of them are opening their doors on the weekend of September 21 and 22 to let you discover their history. This is the case, for example, of theÉglise de la Sainte-Trinité, which awaits you for guided tours on Saturday, September 21, 2024.

These visits are a little special, since they involve a tour of the work in progress on the main facade. Built between 1861 and 1867 by architect Théodore Ballu during the Second Empire. At 30 meters high (65 meters with the bell tower), it was designed to be seen from theOpéra Garnier. The church was consecrated well after its construction, in 1913, and was also listed as a historic monument in 1977, before being classified in January 2016.
