Église Saint-Honoré d'Amiens
Église Saint-Honoré d'Amiens, Art Deco church in Amiens, France.
Description
Église Saint-Honoré is a church building featuring Art Deco design with three monumental doors decorated with mosaics representing four bishops. Inside, a square central nave with two side aisles is illuminated by colored stained glass windows created by master glazier Joseph Archepel.
History
The original 19th-century church was destroyed during German bombing in 1940. Its reconstruction between 1957 and 1961 under architect Paul Tournon created the modern building that stands today.
Culture
The church was designed based on plans from a pavilion originally intended for the 1937 Paris World's Fair. This unusual origin shapes its modern appearance and makes it a distinctive place in the city.
Practical
The building is easy to navigate with good visibility throughout thanks to large windows. The open spatial layout makes it simple to explore all areas without getting lost.
Did you know?
A seven-meter statue of Notre-Dame de France crowns the bell tower north of the apse. This striking sculpture was a gift from French Catholics and dominates the church's outline.
