It is very beautiful, the feeling while in there was truly amazing. And this is the main hall which is open for visits and photography. They have another hall at the back which is for prayers only and no photography allowed. That hall was just out of this world in its beauty.
I played that organ in the spring of '74. Magnificent instrument, described by M. Pierre Grandmaison. It was fascinating to hear how parts of the pipework came from France and elsewhere. It was a thrilling experience for sure!
In the 1960-1970's my parents would take us to mass there. I still remember the sound my sunday best shoes made on the magnificent floor walking up the aisle to our pew. 🙏
Crap. It was built in 1824 to 1829 and is a poor copy of the original in Paris. It is a mish-mash of Gothic and baroque elements and whatever else they could throw in.
