100s I Laowa shift 20/4
In 1925, the construction of a new church began, the previous one having been destroyed during the Great War. Reinforced concrete, an innovative material at that time, was used for its framework. The openwork parts of the 51 m bell tower are filled with sand bricks and blocks of different colors.
The neo-Byzantine style church, the work of architects Maurice Storez and Dom Bellot, was inaugurated on July 7, 1928 but was not fully completed until June 1929.
