Saint-Jean de Montmartre
Church in arrondissement of Paris, France
About
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.
Situated at the foot of Montmartre, it was built from 1894 to 1904. It is notable for its innovative use of reinforced concrete, a pioneering technique championed by architect Anatole de Baudot. The church blends Art Nouveau aesthetics, characterized by organic forms and decorative ceramic tilework, with Gothic structural elements such as pointed arches. Its iron frame and façade distinguish it from traditional Parisian churches, reflecting early 20th-century architectural experimentation.
