Église Saint-Laurent, Catholic church in Lambezellec district, Brest, France.
The église Saint-Laurent is a church in the Lambezellec neighborhood built in neo-gothic style with granite walls and slate roof. Its interior features modern stained glass windows created by renowned artists that fill the space with colored light.
The building was originally dedicated to Saint Florent before being renamed after Saint Laurent during the 16th century. Damage from World War II bombardment led to the reconstruction of its bell tower in the early 1950s.
The stained glass windows, designed by artists Andre Bouler and Max Ingrand, depict biblical scenes throughout the church interior.
The church is open to visitors during daytime hours and can be explored at your own pace to view the interior. Plan your visit outside of service times to have a quieter experience walking through the space.
The church underwent a change in its patron saint during the 1500s, a shift that marked an important moment in the parish's spiritual identity. This transformation reveals how religious devotion in the area evolved over time.
