Notre-Dame-des-Champs of Repentigny Catholic Church, Modern Catholic church in Repentigny, Canada.
Notre-Dame-des-Champs is a modern Catholic church in Repentigny featuring a distinctive shape that resembles praying hands. The interior combines white surfaces with wooden paneling, creating a bright and warm environment.
Construction began in 1962 under architect Roger D'Astous, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, and was completed in 1963. D'Astous brought principles of organic architecture into the design.
Religious artworks inside include a crucifix by Médard Bourgault and a sculpture of Notre Dame des Champs by Rose-Anne Monna that shape the spiritual experience. These pieces anchor the space and give it deeper meaning for those who visit.
The church is located on Boulevard Iberville and offers free parking for visitors. An elevator installed in 2003 ensures the building is accessible to everyone.
The church uses steel construction, an unusual choice for this type of building, due to clay soil conditions at the site. This technical solution shows how architecture must adapt to local ground conditions.
