L'église Saint-Ambroise, located in the 11th arrondissement, is a church dedicated to 4th-century century priest Saint Ambroise. In the Roman Catholic tradition, Ambroise is one of the four Doctors of the Church. Ambrose was learned and a skilled orator, and he is credited with converting another Doctor of the Church, St. Augustine.
We discovered L'église Saint-Ambroise while strolling through the 11th. The church was completed in 1868 and replaced earlier churches that were on the same site. Its architectural style is a mix of Neo-Gothic, Neo-Classical and Neo-Byzantine features. Despite the mix, the church is lovely.
Below is a photographic tour of L'église Saint-Ambroise.
We especially liked the three rose windows of the church, which represent the Trinity. Below, in order--the father, son and holy spirit.
Thanks for visiting L'église Saint-Ambroise with us.
