Saint-André-des-Arts (Paris)
The Saint-André-des-Arts church (previously also spelled Saint-André-des-Arcs and Saint-André-des-Ars ) was a church in the 6th arrondissement in Paris . It stood where the Place Saint-André-des-Arts is today.
history
The church was built from 1210 to 1212 in the Clos du Laas district (the strip of land south of the Seine between the Pont Saint-Michel and the western city wall on the Tour de Nesle ), which is why it was initially called Saint-André-de-Laas . According to tradition, it was a replacement for an ancient chapel, but no traces of it have been found. Until 1345, Saint-André was under the patronage of the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and was then assigned to the University of Paris that year . In 1401, the newly founded Confrèrie Saint-Jean chose l'Evangéliste des Libraires Saint-André as their church.
Although Saint-André-des-Arts was completely rebuilt in 1660, it was already very dilapidated at the beginning of the revolution . Nevertheless, it was made a Temple de la Raison , a church of the revolutionary substitute religion, as well as a meeting place for a revolutionary club. It was later sold and finally demolished in 1807.

Rue Saint-André-des-Arts
The street of the same name belonging to the church of Saint-André-des-Art formerly led from the church to Rue de la Huchette and into the Latin Quarter. It was built over when the Boulevard Saint-Michel and the houses there were built.
