St. Séverin 1, Rue des Pretres St. Séverin Paris 5 Metro: St. Michel / Cluny - La Sorbonne |
Located in Latin Quarter (Left Bank), the origin of Saint Severin goes back to the 6th century when a hermit by the name of Severin lived at the location.
However, this Gothic styled church, with beautiful vaulted ceilings as we know it today, was constructed early 1300s and took close to 300 years to complete. In 1448, a larger portion of this church was burnt.
In 1452 the church was rebuilt again in Gothic style. Throughout the centruries there has been various additions to the church. For a short period after the French Revolution, Saint- Severin was closed to store gunpowder and animal food.
As expected with most churches you can find beautiful stained glass windows inside with religious illustrations.
