Évry Cathedral, Modern Catholic cathedral in Évry-Courcouronnes, France
The cylindrical structure rises 34 meters high with a diameter of 38 meters, featuring exterior walls covered in 670,000 geometric patterned red bricks.
The cathedral construction began in 1992 after the Diocese of Corbeil-Essonnes selected Évry as its new episcopal center, replacing the inadequate Saint-Spire church.
The cathedral interior displays a wooden 16th-century Virgin Mary statue, a Tanzanian Christ figure, and a bronze statue of Saint Corbinian.
The underground crypt contains 24 burial spaces designated for bishops, while the octagonal Day Chapel accommodates smaller religious ceremonies.
Twenty-four lime trees grow on the cathedral's rooftop, creating a garden that symbolizes life and renewal above the concrete structure.
