Pagode de Vincennes

It is located in a former building of the exposition coloniale de 1931, designed by the architect Louis-Hippolyte Boileau.

On this 8 000 m2 site on the edge of the lac Daumesnil are located two buildings of remarkable architecture.

The Pagode de Vincennes is used by Buddhist schools of the Parisian region and has no religious leader.

The pagoda is a place of common worship; it shelters the biggest Buddha of Europe, covered with gold leaf and measuring, including its seat, more than 9 meters high.

A Tibetan buddhist temple named Kagyu-Dzong exists in front of the Pagode de Vincennes.
