Église Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire, Gothic Revival church in Saint-Louis, Réunion Island, France.
Église Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire is a white Gothic Revival church with grey stone quoins, standing on place de l'Église in Rivière-Saint-Louis. Its three-tiered central tower has a pointed-arch doorway, a lobed window with a clock face, two louvered lancet openings and an open belfry with pinnacles and a cross. Lower wings flank it, each with a gabled pointed-arch doorway and an oculus above, under a balustrade with small pinnacles.
Construction began in the early 20th century and the bell tower was finished in 1937. Two war memorials stand on the square in front: one erected after the First World War, the other honouring the dead of the Second World War and later conflicts. The church was inscribed as a monument historique on 14 August 2000.
