Église Saint-Léger, Catholic church in Lens, France
The church building stands on Rue Diderot with a concrete structure that includes a nave and five-bay side aisles with an adjoining bell tower.
Following destruction during World War I in 1916, the municipal council decided to rebuild the church in 1921, with construction completed in 1926.
The church contains three stained glass windows in the choir vault, with the central window depicting Saint Leger, the patron saint of the church.
The church holds Sunday mass at 10:45 AM and serves the city center of Lens as part of the Saint Francis of Assisi parish group.
A 17th-century statue of the Virgin Mary, recovered from the ruins of the previous church, resides in the chapel dedicated to World War I casualties.
