Former church in Paris, France
The Church of Saint-Hilaire () or Saint-Hilaire-du-Mont () is a ruined 12th-century church in Paris, France, active until the French Revolution.
History.
An original oratory was built on the site in the 11th century. The site is located on Montagne Sainte-Geneviève on a plot that belonged to the canons of Saint-Marcel.
In 1158, the building was attested as a parish chapel dedicated to Saint Hilary. The small parish had numerous bookshops —up to 14 on Rue Saint-Hilaire in 1571.
During the French Revolution, the church was closed in 1790 and the parish was suppressed in 1793. It was sold as a national good in 1796 and demolished in 1807.
Architecture.
A drawing of the church shows that the bell tower was made of carpentry with no masonry.
Ruins.
The ruins of the church are located at 2 Rue Valette and 1bis Rue de Lanneau in the 5th arrondissement of Paris.
The few remains include a column with a capital and a part of an arch. They can be seen in a small courtyard that can be reached from 1bis Rue de Lanneau near the corner of the Rue Vallette.
