Église Saint-Louis, Historic church in the 15th district of Marseille, France.
The Saint-Louis Church features reinforced concrete construction with a main bell tower and a dome-topped nave in geometric forms.
The church, built between 1935 and 1939 by architect Jean-Louis Sourdeau, replaced an 18th-century building that became too small for local needs.
The narthex windows display illustrations of historical figures including Joan of Arc and scenes from the life of Saint Louis.
Located at 20 Chemin de Saint-Louis au Rove, the religious building accommodates 900 people for services and celebrations.
The transparent mosaic technique employed by Jean Gaudin for the stained glass windows introduced new methods in religious architectural design.
