Église Sainte-Bernadette
avenue d'Albigny, Annecy, France
The Sainte-Bernadette Church was built between 1965 and 1966 by architects Maurice Novarina and Claude Fay, reflecting post-war architectural and liturgical renewal. Located facing the lake along an urban boulevard, its centralized placement departs from traditional monumentalism, aiming for integration into the urban fabric. It can accommodate up to one thousand people. The distinctive bell tower and the volume of the nave give the church a unique character, with a design that is minimalist and ascetic. Novarina frequently explores similar architectural themes across his projects, as evidenced by the Church of Viry-Chatillon (1970) which employs a similar formal vocabulary.
