Église Saint-Antoine de Padoue du Chesnay, Catholic church in Le Chesnay-Rocquencourt, France.

The church features a 51-meter spire that aligns with the Boulevard du Roi, making it a notable architectural element in the cityscape.

Construction of the church began in 1897 under Canon Boissis, who funded the project to serve the growing population of the Plateau district.

The marble statue of Saint Anthony, carved on-site by an Italian artisan, displays traditional symbols including a lily, book, and infant Jesus.

The church includes soundproof chapels and dedicated spaces for families with children, enabling comfortable participation in religious services.

A stained glass window depicts Saint Anthony's baptism, featuring the church architect Leyendecker and his wife as the godparents in the scene.
