American Cathedral in Paris

The American Cathedral in Paris, officially known as La Cathédrale Américaine de Paris, is one of the most important Protestant houses of worship outside the United States. It was built in the 19th century and is in the neo-Gothic style. The spectacular stained glass window cycle tells the story of the American Revolutionary War as well as important events and figures in American history. A highlight is the impressive organ, which is one of the largest in France and is regularly used for concerts.

The church not only offers a place of worship, but also cultural events, lectures and exhibitions that deal with the transatlantic relationship between France and the USA. During your visit you can explore the beautifully landscaped surroundings, surrounded by a tranquil garden. This makes the cathedral an ideal place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. It's worth a visit to appreciate the architectural details and get a glimpse of American culture in Europe.
