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 parish's patron saint, Laurent, shapes the modern windows: André Bouler built his design around the saint's hagiography and around red, the colour of the fire of his martyrdom, with a blue dominant added. The first four windows, made by the glaziers Jacques and Mireille Juteau, cost 30,000 NF and puzzled parishioners, prompting Bouler to give a lecture on his work in December 1963. Thirteen of the building's sixty-two windows still have no glass.

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 old church demolished around 1854 held a group of wooden figurines about 65 cm tall, depicting Nativity and Adoration of the Magi scenes with men and women of Lambézellec in Restoration-era costume. They were later kept in Brest's former museum of art and religion, now gone.
