Eglise Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Roubaix, Gothic Revival church in Roubaix, France.

The Saint-Jean-Baptiste church features a facade with towers resembling medieval factory chimneys and large stained glass windows depicting religious scenes.

Built between 1888 and 1890 during Roubaix's industrial expansion, the church was established on land donated by local brewer Guillaume Lefebvre.

The interior houses Spanish school paintings from 1715 and oak choir stalls decorated with sculptures representing the four evangelists.

Located at 4 rue Nicolas-Poussin in Roubaix, the church received monument historique inscrit status in June 2014 for its architectural importance.

The church contains an organ crafted by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, which was inaugurated by composer Charles-Marie Widor.
