Église Saint-Louis de Villemomble, Catholic church in Villemomble, France.

The église Saint-Louis stands on place de la République in Villemomble. Its main architect Georges Dumont gave it a metal frame filled with meulière stone. The 56-metre bell tower, designed by Paul Tournon, is built of concrete, meulière and brick, with cement sculpted a fresco by Carlo Sarrabezolles. A low flat-roofed wing with a tiny spire adjoins the nave.

A 7th-century church dedicated to Saint Genès stood at the corner of place Ducatte and was destroyed in 1660; a replacement built on rue d'Avron in 1699 was deconsecrated in 1901. The present church was built that same year on land given to the parish in 1887 by former mayor Louis-Constantin Detouche. Curé Bernard Klein initiated the bell tower, added in 1926, and the church was inscribed as a monument historique in 1996, with the tower classified in 2023.

The church bears the name of King Louis IX, and its parish is part of the Diocese of Saint-Denis. A stone cross from a 15th-century calvary that stood opposite the old Saint-Genès-Saint-Louis church on rue d'Avron adorns the building. The adjoining Chapelle Saint-Genest, whose first stone was laid by Bishop Feltin in 1958, recalls the Saint-Genest church destroyed in the 17th century and was restored in 2013.

The church stands on place de la République, with the square de Verdun and its First World War memorial directly in front. The bell tower, classified by decree of 24 August 2023, rises 56 metres. The Saint-Genest chapel, whose first stone was laid by Mgr Feltin in 1958, is attached to the church and was restored in 2013.

The 56-metre bell tower, added in 1926 at the urging of parish priest Bernard Klein, was designed by Paul Tournon, and its concrete was sculpted "a fresco" by Carlo Sarrabezolles. The tower is built of concrete, meulière stone and brick, and was classified as a monument historique by decree of 24 August 2023.
