The Church of St John, Thiers (French: Église Saint-Jean de Thiers, Église Saint-Jean du Passet), is a Catholic church located in the lower part of the rocky spur in the city center of Thiers, in the Puy-de-Dôme region of France.
While its exact construction date is unknown, the first references to the structure date back to the 11th century. The church underwent significant renovations in the 15th century and was later incorporated into Thiers' city fortifications in the 16th century.[1]
Renowned as the only church in Thiers primarily composed of Gothic architectural elements, it is also a notable tourist attraction in this medieval town, complemented by its picturesque namesake cemetery.[1]
Listed as a historic monument in 1986, the church was permanently closed to the public that year. However, it reopened in September 2020 for guided tours and temporary exhibitions.[1]
