Religion · by Paul Vimond · 1964

21 rue Nungesser-et-Coli, Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, France

The church Sainte-Thérèse-des-Joncherolles, originally named Notre-Dame-du-Salut, was designed by architect Paul Vimond and constructed between 1963 and 1964. Located in a suburban neighborhood, the church is set back from the street behind parish halls. It features a square plan with a seating capacity of 800, utilizing traditional materials such as timber framing and slate roofing. The complex roof extends to the ground and unfolds in multiple planes, culminating at the choir, which is illuminated by skylights. The altar is framed by exposed structural elements, while twelve triangular windows adorned with abstract stained glass by Marguerite Huré and Marcelle Lecamp are positioned on the sides.
