The church was founded in the 4th century on the tomb of Saint Denis, the first Bishop of Paris. It was rebuilt in the 12th century in the Gothic style, under the leadership of Abbot Suger.
The church has been restored several times over the centuries. The last restoration was completed in 1992.
The Church of Saint Denis is a single-nave church with a transept and a choir. The nave is composed of five bays with ribbed vaults. The transept is not very marked and the choir has a flat chevet.
The church is built of limestone and is decorated with sculptures and stained glass windows. The choir is particularly rich in decoration, with carved capitals and stained glass windows.
The interior of the church is divided into two parts: the upper part, which is the nave and transept, and the lower part, which is the choir.
The upper part is characterized by its ribbed vaults, which are supported by columns and pillars. The lower part is characterized by its stained glass windows, which depict scenes from the life of Saint Denis and the Bible.
