St. Louis Church, Rochefort, Neoclassical church in Rochefort, France.
The church features a monumental portico with four Corinthian columns and a triangular pediment at the front of the building.
The structure originated in 1665 when Louis XIV ordered the establishment of a naval arsenal, leading to the construction of a church for mariners.
The interior contains statues of apostles mounted on cruciform pillars, while the walls display numerous religious paintings from the 19th century.
The church maintains regular mass schedules and remains open to visitors throughout the day, offering guided tours by appointment.
The white marble baptismal font stands under a baldachin supported by six Corinthian columns, reflecting the naval heritage of Rochefort.
