Église Sainte-Madeleine de Nantes

The Église Sainte-Madeleine features clean lines and minimal ornamentation, with large glass panels that allow natural light to fill the interior space.

Built in 1955, this religious structure marked a departure from traditional church architecture, embracing contemporary design principles during post-war reconstruction.

The building represents the evolution of religious architecture in France, where modern materials and forms reflect changing societal perspectives on spirituality.

Located near public transportation routes, the church remains open for religious services and welcomes visitors throughout the week for prayer and meditation.

The structure incorporates concrete and glass in geometric patterns, creating different light effects throughout the day across its minimalist interior spaces.
