Église Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, Catholic church in Massy, France

Église Sainte-Marie-Madeleine stands on Place du Vieux Clocher in Massy. Its light grey ashlar bell tower, square in plan, rises to a steep dark grey pyramidal roof with small gabled dormers; paired arched louvered openings and a round clock face mark the upper face. A lower stone building with a sloped roof extends to the left, and the tower's lower right stonework is broken by an arched doorway and a small arched window.

Allied bombing during World War II in 1944 destroyed most of the structure, leaving only the medieval bell tower intact. The complete reconstruction that followed created the modern interior seen today while preserving the historic tower.

The parish is dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene, and the church stands on Place du Vieux Clocher, named for the surviving tower. The nave built by architect Pierre Pinsard between 1957 and 1959 sits beside the medieval bell tower, so Massy's Catholic worship continues in a building that pairs two distant eras.

The main entrance opens onto Place du Vieux Clocher near the Bièvre River, making the location easy to find and approach on foot. The surrounding area provides space to view the exterior and courtyard without needing to enter the building itself.

In the 18th century Abbot Jean Lebeuf recorded fragments of the tomb of a local lord buried in 1290, and of a priest's tomb perhaps from the 14th century, then in the choir. The nave collapsed and was rebuilt in that same century, so these carvings are not known to survive in the present building.
