Église Sainte Marguerite du Vésinet

The church features three naves with a central vessel composed of square bays, each covered by vaulted ceilings with crossed ribs and light openings.

Built between 1862 and 1865 by architects Louis Auguste Boileau and Louis Gilbert, the church incorporates concrete using the Coignet system for construction.

The church houses stained glass windows donated by Alphonse Pallu and local parishioners between 1865 and 1904, restored in 1980 by master glazier Emmanuel Chauche.

Located at Place de l'Église in Le Vésinet, the church serves the Roman Catholic Diocese of Versailles and remains open for religious services and visits.

Église Sainte Marguerite represents the first public building to use an innovative combination of metal structure and concrete in its construction methods.
