Saint-Augustin Church

Église Saint-Augustin de Paris

The St. Augustine Cathedral in Paris is a very large-scale and historic cathedral. Its architecture is very beautiful, with exquisite murals and sculptures. It is one of the treasures of French church art. You must come to appreciate it.

It’s a very beautiful church, but it’s not as famous as Notre Dame Cathedral. Later, when I listened to the tour guide, I couldn’t believe it because it was a steel church. It’s very beautiful. The window grilles and glass inside are really beautiful.

St. Augustine Cathedral in Paris is the second cathedral in Paris after Notre Dame Cathedral. The green spherical construction site is the symbol of the entire church, and it can be seen from a little higher in Paris. The area of the church is also very large. There is a large square outside. It is very lively on weekdays. There are many square performances, which are extremely exciting and attract many tourists to stop and watch.

The St. Augustine Cathedral in Paris is the first church to be cast with iron and can be said to be the earliest steel structure building. However, because people's aesthetics was still in the classical period and could not accept naked cast iron, even the steel structure was covered with a coat of stone. In general, this kind of church is still very beautiful and stable.

It is the first church built with iron in Paris-Augustine Cathedral. Its appearance is not special. You can see the cast iron structure supporting the roof of the church when you enter the church. The iron technology has just been taken seriously at that time. His aesthetics still stayed in the classical period and could not accept naked cast iron. Therefore, even if it is a steel frame, it must be covered with a coat of stone. In general, this church is of a stable type.
