Montmartre Martyr
One of the oldest churches in Paris, St. Pierre de Montmartre was founded as a Benedictine abbey in the 12th century by Louis VI and his wife, Adelaide de Savioe, who became its first abbess. The last abbess at the abbey, Marie-Louise de Montmorency-Laval, was guillotined in 1794 during the French Revolution. The stained glass windows in the present day church, of which this photo is one, are from the 20th century.
