Information

Saint Eustache Cathedral has its origins in a church dedicated to Saint Agnes. This was true until the 16th century when, in 1532, Jean de la Barre, the mayor of Paris began work on what is now Saint Eustache Cathedral. The reason for the beginning of this work was because it had become necessary to enlarge the town square. The work was discontinued during the religious wars, and was not begun again until 1624.
