Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Vélizy-Villacoublay, Modern Catholic church in Vélizy-Villacoublay, France.

The Saint-Jean-Baptiste Church features concrete architecture with two concrete blades forming a 25-meter bell tower and large windows illuminating the central altar.

The construction of Saint-Jean-Baptiste Church began in February 1970 to accommodate the growing population following the aviation industry development in Villacoublay.

The church displays abstract stained glass windows created by François Chapuis in 1983 and a ceramic wall mural by Katarzyna Pawliszewska-Lavocat at the tower base.

The church building accommodates 700 worshippers in its double nave design, with regular services held throughout the week and additional religious celebrations.

A retable depicting the baptism of Christ, created by Sister Claire Schmeltz, was installed in the church interior during 2019.
