Église Saint-Sauveur à Recouvrance, Brest, Church building in Recouvrance district, Brest, France.

The Saint-Sauveur Church features nine-bay naves with side aisles and a gabled facade marked by a rounded arch at its center.

Construction of the church began in 1740 under architect Amédée-François Frézier, using harbor workers specialized in shipbuilding instead of traditional masons.

The church contains a statue of Notre-Dame de Recouvrance created by artist Yves Collet, positioned above the right side altar.

Visitors can find the Saint-Sauveur Church at 32 Rue de l'Église, with public transportation options available in the surrounding area.

The structure earned the name 'church of lost time' due to construction delays caused by using naval workers unfamiliar with building techniques.

Inception: 1749
