A modern, majestic church with a square base and a monumental bell tower 107 m high.

One of Auguste Perret’s masterpieces of Reconstruction. Modern and majestic, with a square base, it boasts a monumental bell tower 107 m high, visible from 60 km out to sea. Work began in 1951 on the old plans for a basilica that the architect had imagined: the result was France’s first church, with an altar placed at the centre of a skylight, where the sun plays with Marguerite Huré’s stained-glass windows embedded in the concrete matrix. The shape of its bell tower is said to have been inspired by the Maison de l’Armateur. A must-see.

Eglise surprenante
S'il y a bien quelque chose à voir au Havre, c'est l' Eglise Saint Joseph. en 1er lieu, bravo pour l'accueil : nous l'avons visitée lors d'une escale de croisière et avons été très bien accueillis par un bénévole. Ensuite, quelle belle surprise en entrant : c'est une Eglise faite uniquement avec du béton (et des vitraux !) mais elle est vraiment magnifique. Donc ne soyez pas rebutés par l'exterieur, elle vaut vraiment le détour !

Une église comme un phare qui ressemble aussi à un ancien gratte-ciel, les strapontins sont surprenant, l'architecture vertigineuse, et nous sommes surpris de l'espace, assez petit par rapport à la hauteur, magnifique
