Église Saint-Louis de Brest, Modern church in Brest, France
Saint-Louis Church spans 95 meters in length, features a reinforced concrete bell tower, and displays contrasting walls with polychrome windows on the east side.
Constructed between 1953 and 1958 on the ruins of a former church that was destroyed during World War II bombings in the summer of 1944.
The interior contains multiple artistic elements, including stained glass windows by Maurice Rocher depicting Breton saints and a high altar created by Philippe Kaeppelin.
The building stands on Louis Pasteur Street in Brest, with religious services held regularly and guided visits available upon request at specific times.
A chalice made from jewelry recovered from victims of the 1944 Sadi-Carnot shelter incident represents a connection to local wartime history.
