Église Saint-Pierre d'Audinghen, church located in Pas-de-Calais, in France
The Église Saint-Pierre d'Audinghen is a church built in modern style located in the small town of Audinghen in northern France. The structure stands out for its clean, straight lines where functionality takes priority and decorative details are kept to a minimum.
The original church in Audinghen was destroyed in 1943 during bombing, but the community chose to build a new structure rather than reconstruct an identical one. The building was erected between 1959 and 1960 as a sign of renewal and hope after wartime destruction.
The church is dedicated to Saint Peter, a common dedication for places connected to this saint in France. It serves the Audinghen community as a gathering place for worship and local events, contributing to the cultural identity of the region.
The church is located along the D 940 road and is easily accessible for residents. Visitors should note that the interior is flooded with sunlight through large windows, making the simple interior decoration appear gentle and warm.
The church's distinctive bell tower is shaped like a lyre and made of concrete, giving the structure an unexpected artistic character. Inside, a large mural by Geneviève d'Andréis depicting Christ embracing the world covers approximately 200 square meters.
