Saint-Jean de Montmartre

Saint-Jean de Montmartre (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ ʒɑ̃ d(ə) mɔ̃maʁtʁ]) is a Roman Catholic parish church located at 19 Rue des Abbesses in the 18th arrondissement of Paris.

Sobbeaux's personal mission to evangelize the population of the lower part of the hill, and he was responsible for raising all the funds for construction.

[3] The new church was designed by architect Anatole de Baudot (1834-1915), a student of Viollet-le-Duc and Henri Labrouste.

The use of this material greatly increased the strength and reduced the cost of the building, and allowed Baudot to win the competition.

[7] The strength provided by the reinforced concrete allowed the church to have thinner walls supporting vaulted ceilings.

[11] The facade of the church is covered with red brick, which also provided additional support and helped insulate the interior.

[13] The theme of the exterior and interior design is based on the writings of St. John- The fourth Gospel and the Apocalypse.

[15] The interior of the church, along the outer aisles, displays four mural paintings, the work of Eugene Thierry (1875-1961).

These windows were made by glass designer Jac Galland, based on a drawing by Pascal Blanchard.

[18] The organ of Saint-Jean-de-Montmartre was originally built by Cavaillé-Coll in 1852 for a school, the École Sacré-Cœur de la Ferrandière in Lyon.
