About Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Nancy

The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Nancy (French: Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Nancy) is a minor basilica of the Roman Catholic Church located in Nancy, France. It combines Romanesque and Byzantine styles and was inspired by the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Montmartre in Paris.

The basilica owes its construction to three key figures: Bishop Charles-François Turinaz, Canon Henri Blaise, and architect Anthony Rougieux. Situated in the western part of Nancy, near the border with Laxou, it is part of the Poincaré - Foch - Anatole France - Croix de Bourgogne neighborhood and is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
