Sainte-Anne de la Butte-aux-Cailles is a Roman Catholic Church located in the [Butte aux Cailles quarter of the 13th arrondissement of Paris, at the crossing of Rue Tolbiac and Rue Bobbilot. Built in the Neo-Roman and Neo-Byzantine architectural style popular in the period, It was completed in time for the opening of the 1900 Paris Universal Exposition.
History
A chapel had existed in the neighbourhood since 1840, but it was too small to accommodate the rapidly-growing population of the neighbourhood in the late 19th century. In 1892 land was purchased for a new church, but the project proceeded slowly due to a lack of funds. Construction began in 1894, and the church was consecrated in 1896.
