Église Sainte-Thérèse, Roman Catholic church in Nantes, France
The church building stretches 30 meters high and incorporates red Beauvais bricks, concrete elements, and Saint-Macaire-en-Mauges granite in its construction.
Construction began in 1935 but faced setbacks during World War II when bombing raids in 1943 caused damage to several walls of the structure.
The interior features a remarkable sculptural work by Jean Fréour depicting Christ in Glory, installed in 1958 before the church's completion.
The religious building stands on Place Alexandre-Vincent in the Breil-Barberie district, forming a complex with a school and college built in similar style.
The bell tower, initially planned to reach 70 meters, was ultimately constructed to a height of 23 meters, reflecting changes in the original design.
