Église Notre-Dame de l'Annonciation de Lyon, Contemporary Catholic church in 9th arrondissement of Lyon, France.

The church features a 62-meter concrete bell tower covered with golden stones from the Lyon region and crowned with an 11-meter cross.

The current building replaced a Neo-Gothic structure destroyed during World War II and was constructed between 1953 and 1957 by architect Paul Erasme Koch.

The interior contains copper and brass crucifix by Philippe Kaeppelin and mosaics by Jean Bertholle, while 18 golden angels surround the bell tower.

The church stands near Vaise station, accessible via metro line D and multiple bus stops located at Place de Paris.

The main facade presents an asymmetrical design, with natural light entering through vertical windows positioned in the side naves.
