Église Notre-Dame-du-Travail

The church features an innovative metallic framework with exposed beams, creating large interior spaces without traditional supporting columns.

Construction began in 1897 under Father Soulange-Bodin to replace a smaller church that could no longer accommodate the growing congregation of workers.

The interior murals, sculptures, and stained glass windows honor workers and labor conditions, reflecting the industrial heritage of the neighborhood.

The church is located at 59 rue Vercingétorix in Paris and can be accessed through Pernety metro station on line 13.

The bell installed in the church tower was originally brought from Sevastopol following its capture during the Crimean War in 1855.
