Église Saint-Julien de Domfront

The Saint-Julien church features reinforced concrete construction, a distinctive extinguisher bell tower, and Armenian-influenced Art Deco decorations throughout its structure.

Paris architect Albert Guilbert designed and constructed this religious building between 1924 and 1931, replacing an 18th-century structure damaged by storms.

The interior displays Jean Gaudin's mosaics and stained glass windows, including a central Christ Pantocrator figure in the choir apse following Byzantine traditions.

The church underwent major renovations between 2011 and 2013, addressing concrete deterioration issues and reopening to visitors on September 29, 2013.

Seven apsidal chapels contain ceramic Stations of the Cross embedded in gray and blue mosaics set within pink cement walls.
