1 rue de Turenne, Lorient, France
The Church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Victoire, also known as Saint-Louis Church, was reconstructed from 1953 to 1955 by architect Jean-Baptiste Hourlier, located 400 meters from its original site. The design features a cubic structure with a cylindrical sanctuary at its center, topped by a dome measuring 21 meters in diameter. The choir, side chapels, and baptistery are positioned in the corners behind the pillars supporting the lowered dome. Constructed of reinforced concrete, the church's façades are clad in granite to harmonize with surrounding buildings. A prominent 54-meter tall cruciform bell tower made of raw concrete, adorned with openings and topped by a cross, is situated at the northwest corner.
