caption_attribution_description: English: The interior of the Church of St Eustace, Paris, France.
context_page_description: The Church of St. Eustache, Paris is a church in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. The present building was built between 1532 and 1632.
  Situated near the site of Paris' medieval marketplace and rue Montorgueil, Saint-Eustache exemplifies a mixture of multiple architectural styles: its structure is Gothic while its interior decoration and other details are Renaissance and classical.
  The 2019 Easter Mass at Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris was relocated to Saint-Eustache after the Notre-Dame de Paris fire.
context_section_description: The church is an example of a Gothic structure clothed in Renaissance and classical detail. Although the architects are unknown, similarities to designs used in the extension of the church of Saint-Maclou in Pontoise (begun in 1525) point to Jean Delamarre and/or Pierre Lemercier, who collaborated in that work. The Italian-born architect Domenico da Cortona has also been suggested.  The church is relatively short in length at 105m, but its interior is 33.45m high to the vaulting.  At the main façade, the left tower has been completed in Renaissance style, while the right tower remains a stump.  The front and rear aspects provide a remarkable contrast between the comparatively sober classical front and the exuberant rear, which integrates Gothic forms and organization with Classical details.  The L'écoute sculpture by Henri de Miller appears outside the church, to the south. A Keith Haring sculpture stands in a chapel of the church.
  The church contains a number of significant works of art in a variety of media and styles.
