Église Saint-Cœur-de-Marie de Concarneau, Catholic church in Concarneau, France.

The church features a Romano-Byzantine architectural style with an unfinished bell tower and remaining capitals, influenced by Istanbul's Hagia Sophia and Périgueux Cathedral.

Construction began in 1912 under architect Charles Chaussepied, faced interruption during World War I, and received its blessing in March 1929.

Interior decorations completed in 1951 by Jean-Marie Martin and André Even included frescoes depicting Mary's life across 300 square meters of wall space.

The structure underwent partial demolition between 1994 and 1995, with only the bell tower and select architectural elements remaining for visitors to observe.

The building stands as the sole Romano-Byzantine style religious structure in Finistère department dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
