Saint-Pierre-du-Gros-Caillou is a Roman Catholic parish church located at 52 Rue Dominique in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, completed in 1733.
History
The population of the 7th arrondissement grew rapidly in the late 17th and early 18th century, overcrowding the main parish church, Saint Sulpice. A new church was proposed as early as 1652, but the construction did not begin until 1733, when the first stone of the new church was laid. As the neighbourhood continued to grow, it was rebuilt in 1755 following the designs of the young architect Jean Chalgrin, whose future works would include the Luxembourg Palace] and the first design for the Arc de Triumph When the French Revolution broke out, the church was still unfinished, and incomplete structure wa demolished.
In 1822, a new church with the same name was constructed on the same site. Designed. by Etienne-Hippolyte Godde, the very prolific architect of the city of Paris from 1813 to 1830, who built or rebuilt thirty churches, as well as the entry to the Pere Lachaise cemetery, and later planned the Arc de Triomphe.
The remains of Jean-Sylvain Bailly, the first mayor of Paris in 1789, are placed beneath the dallage of the church.
In 1854, the confessional, designed by Victor Baltard, was added to the church.
In 1971, the archit4ct Paul Vimond, chief architect for civil buildings and national palaces, along with architect Clauude Petit, designed and built the Chapel of the Virgin.
