Saint-Josse, Paris
Saint-Josse (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃.ʒɔs]) was a church in Paris, France.
Location[edit]
The church was located in the corner of Rue Quincampoix and Rue Aubry-le-Boucher.
History[edit]
The houses between Rue Aubry-le-Boucher, Rue Saint-Merry and Rue Saint-Jacques-la-Boucherie, affiliated with the Saint-Laurent parish, were isolated from Saint-Laurent's church by the wall of Philip II Augustus built around 1200. Thus, an additional church was built in 1235. It was made a full parish by the Bishop of Paris Renaud de Corbeil in 1260.[1]
Around 1300, the estimated parish population was 1,020 inhabitants in 30 houses aligned on two streets.[2]
The Church of Saint Josse, used by the gardeners' fellowship, was re-built in 1679. It was closed in 1791, sold and demolished in 1792.[3] The small building was shown on the 1737 Turgot map of Paris.
