The first building erected here dates from the life of the century, and it was demolished in the thirteenth century to accommodate a new construction. When a fire fell victim a few decades later, the church was rebuilt in a flamboyant Gothic style (xve century). The ornamental elements come mostly from other Parisian places of worship. Sumptuous stained glass windows, set up during the restoration of the building in the nineteenth century, adorn the windows. The most recent dates are from the twentieth century, the oldest of the xive. Not to miss in the chorus: the species of mineral forest formed by the torsaid pillars and the veins of the vault. Note that in the seventeenth century the Great Lady (aka the Duchess of Montpensier) financed as a member of the parish the creation of an oval chapel built on Jules Hardouin Mansart's plans. This includes "Miserere", a series of engravings of Georges Rouault (1913).

Церковь, строительство которой началось в XIII веке, показалась великолепной: строгий архитектурных облик, величественное и скромное внутреннее убранство, включая витражи XV века, расположенные в центральном окне западного фасада. Имя церкви дал монах-отшельник Сен-Северин, святой Северин, живший на территории Парижа в VI веке...
