Église Saint-Barthélémy de Genas, Catholic church in Genas, France.

The Saint Bartholomew Church features a notable architectural design combining golden stone with red brick elements throughout its structure.

Built in 1878 by architect Alfred Berruyer, the church stands on the former site of a Romanesque church that preceded it.

Three historical monuments are preserved within the church, including Saint Bartholomew's reliquary and two painted wooden busts from the 17th century.

The church holds regular Sunday masses and can be reached via TCL bus number 28, connecting Lyon with Saint-Exupéry airport.

A shell fragment from the German bombardment of Fort Genas in August 1944 remains fixed under the statue of Saint Bartholomew.
