Saint-Pierre de Montmartre
Catholic church in Paris
About
Saint-Pierre de Montmartre (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ pjɛr də mɔ̃martr]) is the second oldest surviving church in Paris, after the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Pres. It is one of the two main churches on Montmartre, the other being the more famous 19th-century Sacré-Cœur Basilica, just above it.
Saint-Pierre de Montmartre, whose construction begun in 1133, was the church of the prestigious Montmartre Abbey, destroyed during the French Revolution. According to the earliest biography of Saint Ignatius Loyola, the martyrium of Montmartre Abbey was the location where the vows were taken that led to the founding of the Society of Jesus.
