SANT'ANTONIO DI PADOVA CHURCH
A neo-Gothic church in Le Chesnay, with a steeple rising to 54 m, like a lighthouse in the heart of the town.
Construction of this neo-Gothic church began in 1897, during an anti-clerical period, under the watchful eye of Abbé Boissis. Millstone and limestone combine to create a building 57 m long and 15 m high under vaulted ceiling. The stained-glass windows, installed between 1900 and 1910, are a major artistic asset: executed by the Lorin workshop in Chartres, they evoke the life of Saint Anthony of Padua. The Cavaillé-Coll organs date from 1913.
