Église Notre-Dame-d'Espérance de Paris, Modern Catholic church in 11th arrondissement, Paris, France
The church combines concrete and glass walls with metal and wood interior features, creating an open space filled with natural light through its large windows.
Constructed in 1997 by architect Bruno Legrand, the church replaced a 1928 chapel on Rue de la Roquette that served the local working-class community.
The church walls display Gospel inscriptions from Matthew, Mark, and Luke in boustrophédon style, requiring visitors to walk around to read the complete messages.
The church maintains regular schedules for masses, educational programs, and community outreach initiatives, welcoming both local residents and visitors throughout the week.
Three golden squares near the altar symbolize the cross beam, while the main cross incorporates an oak beam dating from the eighteenth century.
