Crematorium of Père Lachaise

20th Arr.

Step inside France's first crematorium, a stunning Neo-Byzantine temple of light and shadow hidden within Père-Lachaise. Built between 1887 and 1908, the building's imposing dome and intricate stained-glass windows create an unexpectedly contemplative space for wandering and reflection.
