Church of Sainte-Thérèse-de-l'Enfant-Jésus, Roman Catholic church in Élisabethville, Aubergenville, France.
Church of Sainte-Thérèse-de-l'Enfant-Jésus is a concrete church building in Aubergenville with a spire standing 45 meters high and a front facing 20 meters tall by 7.5 meters wide. The building functions as a place of worship and has housed a municipal music school organ since 1999.
Construction started in September 1927 under architect Paul Tournon with backing from a committee sponsored by Queen Elisabeth. The project represented an important religious and architectural undertaking for the region during that period.
The interior catches your eye with concrete vaults and glass panels, combined with stained glass windows by Marguerite Huré and sculptures by Carlo Sarrabezolles. These artworks shape how the space feels when you walk through it.
The site is easy to reach in central Aubergenville with good accessibility from the main area. Keep in mind that the building serves both religious purposes and cultural events, so visiting times may vary depending on scheduled activities.
The design references the famous Sainte-Chapelle through three continuous bays running from the nave to the apse. This architectural nod combines historical reference with modern concrete construction.
