Notre-Dame-des-Missions-du-cygne d'Enghien, Modern Catholic church in Épinay-sur-Seine, France
Notre-Dame-des-Missions features three layered rooftops with Chinese characters and a bell tower shaped like a minaret in its architectural design.
The church originated from a pavilion at the 1931 Colonial Exhibition in Paris before being reconstructed at its current location in 1932.
Artists from Maurice Denis Sacred-Art workshops created interior decorations, including frescoes depicting evangelization across different continents.
The church maintains regular Mass schedules and serves as a starting point for diocesan pilgrimages throughout the Seine-Saint-Denis department.
Ceramic decorations by Lorymi and Raymond Virac combine with concrete sculptures by Carlos Sarrabezolles to represent different cultural groups within the church.
