Saint-Louis-des-Chartrons

Contents

The Church of Saint-Louis-des-Chartrons is a Roman Catholic church located in Bordeaux, France. It is a gothic revival church dedicated to Saint Louis, king of France (1214–1270).

History and description

Saint-Louis Church was built between 1875 and 1879 following the plans of Charles-Louis Brun, a Bordelais architect. [1] Consecration occurred in 1895 by Mgr Lecot. It is 60.35 meters long by 23 meters wide and 22.26 meters high under vaults.[2] The high towers measure 58 meters and are visible from all over the city[3] above the elegant quartier des Chartrons (Chartrons district), on the north of Place des Quinconces.

The stained-glass windows are particularly remarkable; they come from the workshops of Henri Feur (1899) and Nicolas Lorin (1879, in the choir).

Organ

The organ was listed on the French register of Monuments historiques in 1992.[4] It was built by Georges Wenner in 1881, remade by Gaston Maille in 1901 and repaired by Pascal Quoirin in 2005.[5]
