Sainte Jeanne d'Arc Church, Gothic Revival church in Bregille, Besançon, France

Sainte Jeanne d'Arc is a church in the Bregille neighborhood of Besançon. Its 31-meter concrete tower has a grid of narrow vertical openings and a plain cross on top, while the left wing is built of rough grey stone. A flat canopy covers the entrance steps, and the interior combines Gothic Revival pointed-arch windows with modern concrete panels.

The first church in Bregille, Saint-Martin, was founded in the 6th century and destroyed on 2 May 1814 when General Marulaz razed the neighbourhood during the siege of Besançon. Lucine Bourriot bought the land for a new church in 1914, and the first stone was laid in 1930 under Abbot Quinnez. The choir was finished in 1933, but work stopped until 1948, when a new plan by Swiss architect Dumas was adopted. The church was consecrated in 1961.

The parish took the name of Joan of Arc in 1924, before the first stone was laid in 1930. Lucine Bourriot, a Bregille resident, bought the land in 1914 and gave the bell called Marie Lucie, which was only hung during the 2002 renovation. Since 2006 rooms behind the church have been placed at the disposal of Orthodox Christians.

The church stands in Bregille, east of the city centre across the Doubs. The entrance sits under a flat canopy at the base of the 31-metre tower, reached by a short flight of steps. Rooms behind the building have been reserved for Orthodox Christians since 2006, so Catholic and Orthodox services share the site.

The official consecration ceremony took place only in 1961, nearly a decade after the construction work ended. This marked the return of active worship to this area after more than 150 years without a functioning church building.
