Église Saint-Serge-de-Radonège
Perched at the top of a wooden staircase in a leafy courtyard in the 19th arrondissement, Saint-Serge church occupies a former German Lutheran church bought in 1924 by Russian émigrés after the 1917 revolution.
The fully panelled interior is covered with frescoes by Dmitri Stelletsky in the style of the old churches of northern Russia. The painted-wood ensemble is unlike anything else in Paris. Tip: the site is also a theological institute; check opening times and visit outside services.
