Église Saint-Maurice de Bécon, Romanesque Revival church in Courbevoie, France
Description
The église Saint-Maurice de Bécon is a Romanesque Revival church in Courbevoie featuring a single nave, flat chevet, and bell tower with pointed-arch windows. Inside, a large pipe organ from the 1860s occupies a prominent place and provides music for services.
History
Architect Julien Barbier designed the building from 1907 to 1911 as the neighborhood was growing rapidly and needed a larger place of worship. It replaced a smaller chapel that could no longer accommodate the rising number of residents in the area.
Culture
The church serves as a gathering place where the local community has worshipped for more than a century in this residential area. Its simple interior with rounded arches creates a quiet retreat from the surrounding neighborhood streets.
Practical
The building is located on rue Armand-Silvestre and easily accessible by public transit during daytime hours. It is best to visit in the morning when there are fewer people around, allowing time to examine the architectural details and interior in peace.
Did you know?
The main facade displays a large carved figure of Christ with outstretched arms, framed by two protective arches in Roman style. This representation is uncommon for French churches of this period and gives the facade a distinctive appearance.
