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 Saint Joseph bâtie lors de la reconstruction de la ville entre 1951 et 1957 en béton armé, assez originale , devant servir à la fois comme édifice religieux et salle de concert ou de réunion. D ans cette intention , les sièges disposés selon un hémicycle ont la forme de fauteuils d'orchestre.
Edifice surprenant qui ne laisse pas indifférent .

Belle et grande église à l'architecture singulière. L'assemblée est en cercle autour de l'Hôtel. Les vitraux donnent de belles couleurs à la lumière. Bien située.
