Sainte Jeanne d'Arc Church, Gothic Revival church in Bregille, Besançon, France
The church features a straight steeple reaching 31 meters high and combines neo-Gothic elements with modern architectural components in its structure.
The original Saint Martin church from the sixth century stood at this location until 1814, when French General Marulaz ordered its destruction during a siege.
The church received its official consecration in 1961 by Marcel-Marie Dubois, establishing a new religious center in the Bregille neighborhood after a century without worship.
Construction of Sainte Jeanne d'Arc Church began in 1930 under Abbot Quinnez's guidance, with several interruptions before its completion in the late 1950s.
The building includes dedicated spaces for Orthodox Christian services since 2006, making it a shared space for different Christian denominations.
