Église du Sacré-Cœur d'Audincourt, Modern Catholic church in Audincourt, France.

The church features a single rectangular nave oriented north-south, constructed with reinforced concrete and dressed stone, ending in a semi-circular apse.

Local workers built the church between 1949 and 1951 following architect Maurice Novarina's plans, marking the post-World War II religious architecture renewal.

Artists Jean Bazaine and Fernand Léger created abstract mosaics and stained glass windows that represent the Passion through contemporary artistic expression.

The church stands at 3 Rue de Pauvrement in Audincourt, designated as both a historical monument and 20th-century heritage site.

The baptistery contains seventeen stained glass windows and a baptismal font carved from a single stone block, demonstrating minimalist design principles.
