Église Notre-Dame-de-Pellevoisin de Lille, Byzantine Revival church in Lille, France.
Description
Église Notre-Dame-de-Pellevoisin is a church building in Lille featuring Byzantine Revival design combined with Romanesque touches. Its walls display a striking pattern of red brick and white stone throughout, creating a distinctive visual presence in the neighborhood.
History
Construction began in 1906 under architect Louis Marie Cordonnier and was completed with an opening in 1911. The inauguration took place during a period when church-state separation laws created significant tensions in France.
Culture
Inside, a marble statue of the Virgin Mary carved from Carrara marble by sculptor Hippolyte Lefèbvre stands as a focal point for visitors. This sculpture reflects both local religious devotion and the artistic craftsmanship of the early 1900s.
Practical
The building sits in the Saint-Maurice Pellevoisin neighborhood, positioned between Leroy, Lequenne, and Mourcou streets. It is easily accessible as part of a walk through this residential district.
Did you know?
The structure notably lacks a bell tower, a choice made due to ground stability concerns during its construction. This absence sets it apart from typical church designs of the early 1900s.
