Église Notre-Dame des Laves
Église Notre-Dame des Laves, Catholic church in Sainte-Rose, Réunion Island, France.
The Notre-Dame des Laves church stands in eastern Réunion Island, featuring pink-painted walls and stained glass windows by artist Guy Lefèvre.
During the 1977 Piton de la Fournaise volcanic eruption, lava flows surrounded the church building and entered three meters into the nave.
The church serves as a central gathering place for the Sainte-Rose community, hosting regular masses and religious ceremonies throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the church using the Car Jaune bus network, with free WiFi available on the premises.
The solidified lava flows that encircle the church structure remain intact, with stairs carved directly into the volcanic rock.
