EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 1851 photograph captures the breathtaking interior of Eglise de Saint-Pantaleon, a historic church located in the heart of Troyes, France. The church, dedicated to the patron saint of horses, blacksmiths, and artillerymen, is a prime example of Gothic architecture with its soaring vaulted ceilings, intricate stonework, and stained glass windows that bathe the space in a warm, ethereal glow. The Eglise de Saint-Pantaleon was originally built in the 13th century, but was extensively restored in the 16th and 17th centuries. The interior, as seen in this photograph, showcases the beautiful fusion of these different architectural styles. The nave is adorned with ornate columns, each one topped with a capital that features intricate carvings of various biblical scenes. The side aisles are lined with ornate wooden pews, while the apse houses a magnificent altar, surrounded by ornate statues and intricate stonework. The stained glass windows, a prominent feature of the church, are a visual treat, casting vibrant colors and patterns across the interior. The largest window, located above the altar, depicts scenes from the life of Saint Pantaleon, the church's namesake. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of Eglise de Saint-Pantaleon, a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Troyes, France. The church stands as a testament to the region's artistic and cultural heritage, and continues to be an important religious and historical site for the local community and visitors alike.
