Église Notre-Dame-de-la-Dormition de Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois
Église Notre-Dame-de-la-Dormition de Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois, Orthodox church in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois, France.
The Notre-Dame-de-la-Dormition church features a white facade, green roof symbolizing earth, and a blue bulb-shaped bell tower representing the sky.
Construction began on April 9, 1938, and the church was consecrated on October 14, 1939, by Metropolitan Euloge during Russian emigration to France.
The wooden iconostasis, built by engineer Grekoff, displays icons of twelve major religious festivals and incorporates traditional Novgorod architectural elements.
The church maintains regular religious services and offers guided tours for visitors interested in exploring its Russian Orthodox heritage and architecture.
A memorial plaque within the church commemorates thirty thousand Cossacks who left their country during World War II.
