Église Saint-Justin de Levallois-Perret, Catholic church in Levallois-Perret, France.
The église Saint-Justin is a Catholic parish church on rue Rivay in Levallois-Perret. It is a massive building with neo-medieval cornices and a bell tower set off-centre at the left rear corner. Its stained glass windows come from the Mauméjean brothers' workshop and from makers J. Blain, Eugène Brière and Louis Trézel.
A fundraising campaign initiated by Nicolas Levallois in 1847 led to the church's construction, which opened in 1855. The building became an important religious center for the developing local community.
The stained glass windows created by the Mauméjean brothers workshop display religious figures including Saint Odile and Saint Therese. These artworks shape the interior light and tell sacred stories through colored glass.
The church stands on rue Rivay in Levallois-Perret, in the Hauts-de-Seine department. The bell tower is set off-centre at the rear left corner, so the main entrance is not under the tower. The building results from successive enlargements up to 1912, and the interior can be visited outside service times.
The 1869 competition for a new church was won by Anatole de Baudot, but the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 shelved the project; the parish instead enlarged the existing building in stages until 1912. The off-centre bell tower at the left rear corner is a remnant of this piecemeal growth.
