Église Saint-Joseph de Roubaix, Gothic church in Fontenoy district, Roubaix, France

The church features a brick and Tournai stone exterior with a 50-meter spire towering above the neighborhood.

Belgian architect Jean-Baptiste Bethune designed this church between 1876 and 1878 to serve the growing textile industry population.

The interior walls display textile patterns from 1880 to 1910, representing the industrial heritage of the local community.

The church reopened in April 2021 after six years of restoration work, offering regular religious services to the public.

The Rosary stained glass window, created by Stalins-Janssens workshops in Antwerp, earned a Gold Medal at the 1889 Paris Universal Exhibition.
