Église Notre-Dame de Toute Grâce du Plateau d'Assy
Église Notre-Dame de Toute Grâce du Plateau d'Assy, Modern church at Plateau d'Assy, France.
The church features a rectangular nave with side aisles, a semicircular choir, and a bell tower reaching 28 meters in height against Mont Blanc.
Built between 1937 and 1946 under architect Maurice Novarina's direction, the church served tuberculosis patients from nearby sanatoriums during the mid-20th century.
The interior contains works by numerous artists including Fernand Léger, Marc Chagall, Georges Braque, and Henri Matisse, representing a milestone in modern religious art.
The building incorporates local green sandstone and spruce wood materials, with a deep overhang supported by six pillars to protect against mountain weather conditions.
The church displays a large mosaic on its facade depicting the Virgin Mary surrounded by nine Marian litany symbols created by Fernand Léger.
