About the location

Église Saint-Benoit

27 Rue de Pontgivart, 51100 Reims

Marne
Grand Est

The church of Saint Benedict was built in 1911 by the architect of the Carnegie library, Max Sainsaulieu, inspired by Roman churches. The architect restored it a few years later, following the bombing of the First World War.
You can discover magnificent stained glass windows made by the Simon and De Troeyer workshops, an Art Deco-inspired interior, as well as a coffered ceiling, which gives the church exceptional acoustics.
