After the
Franco-Prussian War of 1870, it was proposed to construct a
church to the Sacred Heart on the butte Montmartre. Although
originally the fund raising was by public subscription, in 1873,
the National Assembly declared its construction to be a state
undertaking. Of the 78 entries in the competition for its
design, the one chosen was by the architect named Abadie. He was
already well known for his restoration of the St-Front Cathedral
in Périgueux. The plans for the new basilica called for an
edifice of Romano-Byzantine style, and the first stone was laid
in 1875. Abadie himself died in 1884 with only the foundation
having been completed. Completed in 1914, it was not consecrated
until 1919 after World War I had ended. The final cost was 40
million francs. Since 1885, there has been perpetual adoration
and worship within. The interior of the church contains one of
the worlds largest mosaics, and depicts Christ with outstretched
arms. The nearby bell tower contains the ``Savoyarde''. Cast in
Annecy in 1895, it is one of the worlds heaviest at 19 tons, and
there's a great chippy not ten yards from the front door.
