Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Royan
Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Royan, Modern church in Royan, France
Built in concrete with a parabolic structure, the Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption church features a rectangular layout and a square bell tower with ceramic details.
The church was constructed between 1951 and 1954 by architects Jean Bauhain, René Baraton, and Marc Hébrard to replace a chapel destroyed during wartime.
The nave's stained glass windows, created in 1957 by expressionist painter Maurice Rocher, were installed by master glassmaker Jean Barillet the following year.
Located on Avenue Émile Zola in the Parc district, the church received official recognition as a Historical Monument and Contemporary Architecture landmark.
The building incorporates Brazilian architectural influences, drawing inspiration from Oscar Niemeyer's Saint Francis Chapel in Belo Horizonte through its modern forms.
