Église Saint-Honoré d'Amiens, Art Deco church in Amiens, France.

Saint-Honoré Church displays a distinctive Art Deco design with three monumental doors adorned with mosaics depicting four bishops representing humanity.

The original 19th-century church was destroyed during German bombings in 1940, leading to its reconstruction between 1957 and 1961 by architect Paul Tournon.

The church's design stems from a modified plan of a pavilion initially created for the 1937 Paris Universal Exhibition.

The building features a square nave with two side aisles, illuminated by stained glass windows designed by master glazier Joseph Archepel.

A colossal seven-meter statue of Notre-Dame de France stands atop the bell tower, positioned north of the apse.
