Basilica of the Sacre-Coeur (English name)

Japanese: サクレ・クール教会 - サクレクールきょうかい(英語表記)Basilique du Sacré‐Cœur
Basilica of the Sacre-Coeur (English name)
This pilgrimage church stands on the hill of Montmartre in Paris. Its construction was planned as a national event to pray for recovery from the social turmoil that followed the defeat in the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune, and the Romanesque-Byzantine style plan (1874) by Paul Abadie (1812-84) was adopted. Its model was the Cathedral of Saint-Front in Périgueux in the south of France, whose restoration Abadie himself helped to carry out. It was completed in 1910, just before World War I. During its construction, it was criticized as a medieval imitation that marred the Parisian landscape, but today it has become an indispensable landmark in the city.

Japanese:
パリ,モンマルトルの丘の上に建つ巡礼教会。普仏戦争の敗北,パリ・コミューンとうち続く社会的混乱からの回復を願った国家的行事として建設が企画され,アバディーPaul Abadie(1812‐84)によるロマネスク・ビザンティン様式の案(1874)が採用された。その範となったのは,アバディー自身その修復に携わった南仏ペリグーのサン・フロン大聖堂である。完成は第1次大戦直前の1910年。建設中は,パリの景観を損ねる中世建築のまがいものと批判されたが,今日ではパリに欠かせない名所となっている。
