Créteil Cathedral, Modern Catholic cathedral in Créteil, France
Créteil Cathedral is a modern Catholic church defined by two cylindrical wooden structures that rise from the building and converge above the altar. The design combines functional space planning with a distinctive visual arrangement in the interior.
Architect Charles-Gustave Stoskopf designed this modern religious building, which was completed in 1966. The structure marked a shift toward new architectural approaches for sacred spaces in this Paris suburb.
This cathedral serves as a gathering place for worship and community events that bring local residents together. The space functions as a center where people regularly meet for religious celebrations and cultural activities.
The interior is easy to navigate since the seating arrangement and structure naturally guide visitors toward the altar. A visit on foot is straightforward, and the space itself provides clear orientation throughout.
The interior features 130 arched wooden structures made from glued spruce planks arranged in a rhythmic pattern. This wooden framework creates a continuously shifting spatial effect through changing light and shadow throughout the day.
