Église Notre-Dame de Pau

This Art Deco church features neo-Romanesque elements with modern architectural innovations including reinforced concrete construction and metal framework covered with plaster throughout its interior spaces.

Built between 1921 and 1929 under the direction of Abbé Compo, the church was constructed during the post-World War I reconstruction period and officially consecrated in December 1923.

The church serves as a community center hosting choral concerts, guided tours, and temporary exhibitions while housing the Ernest Gabard museum showcasing local religious art and sculptures.

Located on Boulevard Alsace-Lorraine with nearby parking facilities, the church offers guided tours and special events including centenary celebrations with evening concerts and illuminated ceremonies.

The building contains a historically classified Stations of the Cross from 1932 that uniquely depicts World War I soldiers and widows alongside traditional religious scenes.
