About Cathedral Saint-Louis de Versailles
In the royal city of Versailles, the Cathédrale Saint-Louis is an elegant 18th-century church built in the graceful Rococo classical style by Jacques Hardouin-Mansart de Sagonne, grandson of Louis XIV's great architect, and consecrated in 1754. With its balanced twin-towered facade, noble dome and luminous, harmonious interior, it embodies the refined taste of the age of Louis XV, in perfect keeping with the grand town laid out around the palace. Built to serve the growing quarter of Versailles and later raised to cathedral rank, it houses fine organs, paintings and classical furnishings. Set among the stately avenues of the town that grew up around the Sun King's château, Saint-Louis is a serene and beautiful example of French 18th-century religious architecture, a graceful complement to a visit to Versailles.
