Église Saint-Vaast de Béthune
Église Saint-Vaast de Béthune, Gothic Revival church in Béthune, France.
The Saint-Vaast Church features a 68-meter-high tower with three pointed arches at its entrance and displays red brick construction with stone elements.
The original church from 1547 was destroyed during World War I and underwent complete reconstruction between 1924 and 1927 under architect Louis Marie Cordonnier.
The stained glass windows, created by master glazier Charles Champigneulle, depict both the history of Béthune and the life of Saint Vaast.
The church houses four bells cast in 1927 by Charles Wauthy, with each bell receiving specific measurements and individual names.
The building combines French Gothic architecture with regional Flemish influences, resulting in a Neo-Flemish style characteristic of post-war reconstruction.
