Église Saint-Vincent du Havre, Romanesque Revival church in the Saint-Vincent district, Le Havre, France

Saint-Vincent-de-Paul Church is a neo-Romanesque church built in brick with a slate roof, 58 metres long and 13.76 metres wide in a Latin cross plan. A 59-metre lantern tower rises over the crossing of nave and transept, and the porch bears the inscription "Liberté Égalité Fraternité". Its facade has three arched doorways, two square towers and a dark slate spire.

Founded by Abbé Beaupel in the mid-19th century as Le Havre expanded, the church was designed by Abbé Charles Robert, who drew on the abbey church of Saint-Georges de Boscherville. The lantern tower was finished in 1856, the portal in 1877 and the two flanking towers in 1882; the grand organ dates from 1883. Bombing in September 1944 cracked the apse, largely destroyed the sacristy and broke the windows; the building was later restored. President René Coty's funeral was held here on 27 November 1962.

The porch bears the inscription "Liberté Égalité Fraternité", unusual on a church facade. The building is dedicated to Saint Vincent de Paul, and the surrounding quarter takes the name Saint-Vincent. President René Coty's funeral was held here on 27 November 1962.

The church stands in the Saint-Vincent district, west of the rebuilt city centre and toward the beach. The main entrance is the central red door of the three-arched facade, reached by a wide stone step and a row of steps flanked by black lampposts. The building is brick with a slate roof.

The porch bears the inscription "Liberté Égalité Fraternité", unusual on a 19th-century church facade. The lantern tower rises 59 metres over the crossing, and the building uses brick for the walls and slate for the roof, following Norman Romanesque models such as Saint-Georges de Boscherville.
