Église Notre-Dame-du-Calvaire de Châtillon

Église Notre-Dame-du-Calvaire de Châtillon is a church built between 1933 and 1934 with distinctive red brick walls, three domes, and a reinforced concrete framework. A semi-circular apse and a stone pieta above the entrance door complete its architectural design.

The church was built by the Cardinal's Construction Works association, an organization that erected several Catholic churches in the Paris region during the 1930s. Its construction responded to the growing population needs of the suburban area.

Inside, you will find frescoes depicting religious scenes and bronze reliefs that represent different virtues on the walls. These artistic details shape how the space feels when you walk through it.

The church sits on Avenue de la Paix and is easy to reach on foot, with plenty of space in front of the building. Visitors should note that regular services take place, so checking opening times beforehand is helpful.

The artistic decoration of the interior was not completed until 1962, many years after the building itself finished. Artists worked gradually on the frescoes and reliefs, slowly filling the space with religious meaning over time.
