16th Arrondissement

Notre-Dame d'Auteuil (French pronunciation: [nɔtʁ.dam do.tœj]) is a Roman Catholic parish church on the Auteuil hill in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.

History

Before the French Revolution Auteuil was best known for its vineyards, the property of the noble families of the fief of Auteiul. A Romanesque church was built there in the 11th century, and was replaced by a new church in the 14th century. Auteuil was not merged into Paris until 1860.

The present church was built between 1877 and 1892 in a blend of the Romanesque and Byzantine styles, a combination very popular in the period. They architect was Joseph Auguste Émile Vaudremer (1829-1914), the architect of the diocese, whose other projects included the church Saint-Pierre de Montrouge and La Sante Prison.
