Church in arrondissement of Paris, France
About
Saint-Ambroise (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃.t‿ɑ̃.bʁwaz]) is a Roman Catholic parish church located in the 11th arrondissement in eastern Paris. It is dedicated to St. Ambrose (339-377), an ancient Roman statesman and theologian who served as Bishop of Milan.
The church of Saint-Ambroise gave the neighborhood its name, the quartier Saint-Ambroise. The current structure replaced an earlier church of Saint-Ambroise, built in 1659, which was demolished to make room for the new boulevards built by Napoleon III. The church is 87 metres in length, and its towers are 68 metres high. It is served by the Metro station Saint-Ambroise.
