A shining piece of neo-Gothic architecture, this church was built over 75 years between 1897 and 1972. With dainty tracery, crockets, a rose window and mosaics in its tympana, it’s almost indistinguishable from a European Medieval building.

That is no accident, as the church’s stonework and fittings were handmade using the same methods. The church’s clock was crafted in Germany, together with its 25-bell carillon.

When the clock chimes you can see little statues of the 12 Apostles rotating through the campanile. The chancel and nave are lit by tall and slender stained glass windows painted by two artisans from Orléans on a template by the artist Maurice Rocher.
