Notre-Dame du Valentin, Minor basilica in central Lausanne, Switzerland.
Notre-Dame du Valentin features neoclassical architecture with a 38-meter bell tower, grand staircase, and colonnade connecting to Place de la Riponne.
Construction began in 1832 under architect Henri Perregaux, making it the first Catholic church in Lausanne after the 1536 Reformation period.
The basilica houses a collection of Art Deco stained glass windows created by Alexandre Cingria during the 1935 renovations.
