Église Saint-Chrysole de Comines, Byzantine Revival church in Comines, France.
The church presents high vaulted ceilings, intricate decorative elements, and a 51-meter tower made of sand bricks in various colors.
Following destruction during World War I, architect Maurice Storez rebuilt the church between 1925 and 1929 using reinforced concrete technology.
The church received recognition from the European Commission in 1995 and achieved Monument Historique status in France in 2002.
The recent restoration completed in 2017 included masonry repairs, woodwork maintenance, paint renewal, stained glass restoration, and electrical system updates.
The church structure combines traditional Byzantine design elements with modern materials, featuring sand-colored bricks and concrete framework.
