Église Sainte-Bernadette de Lourdes, Religious complex in Lourdes, France
The Église Sainte-Bernadette is a modern church within the Lourdes sanctuary, built in 1988 and dedicated to Saint Bernadette. It seats approximately 5,000 people and includes facilities designed to accommodate large religious gatherings and worship services.
The church was built in 1988, roughly 130 years after the visions of Saint Bernadette Soubirous in the area. It represents a modern chapter in the sanctuary's history and expanded the religious infrastructure for the growing number of visitors.
Pilgrims from around the world gather here to pray and participate in daily processions together. The sanctuary serves as a place where visitors seek spiritual connection and support for their faith.
The church is accessible year-round and features separate areas for different types of gatherings and services. Visitors should plan to arrive early, especially during peak times, to secure space in this large-capacity venue.
A medical bureau at the site systematically examines reports of miraculous healings using scientific methods to verify claims. This approach makes the place unique in how religious belief and medical scrutiny come together.
