Église Saint-Joseph de Pontivy, Catholic church in Pontivy, France.

The granite church features a bell tower with monolithic columns and large stone blocks that form its main entrance and façade.

The church construction started in 1863 under Napoleon III's reign and stopped in 1867 due to the depletion of imperial funds.

The church interior contains a set of stations of the cross created by Madame de Lignières and contemporary stained glass windows depicting four elements.

Saint-Joseph Church operates as an active place of worship and stands in the Napoleon district of Pontivy, on Square Lenglier.

One of the gargoyles on the church exterior bears the likeness of Empress Eugénie, sculpted by local artist Le Goff.
