Chapelle Sainte-Thérèse-de-l'Enfant-Jésus et de la Sainte-Face
Chapelle Sainte-Thérèse-de-l'Enfant-Jésus et de la Sainte-Face, Religious chapel in Hem, France.
The chapel features a concrete bell tower rising above neighboring workers' houses, with stained glass walls illuminating the interior spaces.
Philippe Leclercq, a textile industrialist, financed the construction of this chapel between 1956 and 1958 near his residence in Hempenpont district.
The north facade incorporates a stained glass wall by Alfred Manessier depicting scenes from the life of Saint Therese through symbolic colors.
The altar configuration allows celebrations according to both traditional rites and Vatican II guidelines, demonstrating forward-thinking architectural planning.
The chapel contains a woven artwork of Christ by Georges Rouault, executed by Jacques Plasse-Le-Caisne, prominently displayed on the apse wall.
