The most beautiful religious buildings Hauts-De-Seine

The church Saint-Étienne, built in the seventeenth century, lies in the heart of the ancient medieval village. She has a Roman-inspired tympan. In the nineteenth century, it has been equipped with numerous paintings of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a retable of the Virgin, a organ, currently in the process of restoration, and stained glass. The building, which was renovated until 2008, was inscribed in the inventory of Historic Monuments in 1929 and is particularly appreciated by the inhabitants. The church is an important liturgical center, a gathering point for many people before the proposed activities.

Inaugurated in 1875, the Saint-Urbain Church is then a relief chapel built on a land offered by the heirs of the banker Pierre-Urbain Sartoris. The building is dedicated to the saint who bears one of his first names, to pay tribute to him. The church is transformed several times, and even enlarged, over the next century, particularly with the choir and transept in the 1930 s. Inside, you can see windows of 1987, executed by the art glass Éric Bonte.

The Synagogue Synagogue synagogue, due to architect Emmanuel Pontremoli, was consecrated during a ceremony held on 21 September 1911 (the synagogue has thus 100 years since 2011), in the presence of Alfred Levy, the great rabbi of the Jewish central consistory of France and Algeria, and Jacques Henry Dreyfuss, the great rabbi of Paris. It was thanks to Baron Edmond James de Rothschild (1845 1934), president of the new work (the Paris Jewish Consistorial Association, founded in 1905) that this synagogue was born.

Built from 1319 to 1450 following a project formed by Philippe le Bel, the church Notre-Dame de Boulogne was devoted in 1330 by Hugues de Besançon, bishop of Paris. A pilgrimage place near the capital, the church sees under its vaults over the centuries Philippe V, Jean the Bon, Jeanne d 'Arc, Du Guesclin and Pope Sixte Quint. The village of Menus which, with the construction of the church, had become parish gradually took the name of Boulogne. It was erected in the revolutionary era. The church experienced successive restorations, the last of which was devoted to preserving the wall paintings that Charles Lameire realized in the last century. Our Lady of Boulogne is one of the few examples of the nineteenth century decoration in value today.

This church was built in 1859 thanks to the personal funding of Napoleon III. She has the first name of his wife. The exterior of the church is harmonious, in the image of the village, and its appearance is typical of a country church. Its ochre color breaks with the other places of worship in the region, allowing it to be distinguished without problems. The porch is overcrowded with a square bell, which is built. Inside, the nef is rectangular and ends with an abside in the oven. The stained glass windows were created by the master rod Lorin and installed in 1909. For the anecdote, note that the emperor often resided in Villeneuve-l 'Étang, where Pasteur then installed his laboratory.

This is a place of worship located in an unusual place, a bit like the ones you can see at airports and places of passage. Opened in 2001, this church house is a place not like others. Designed to accommodate the believers of the Defense Business District, it is closed at weekends. All year round, it opens its doors for masses and religious ceremonies, but also for exhibitions, conferences and concerts. The exterior and interior architecture of this building is adapted to its hyperurban environment. Behind a large wall with a cross, you discover a cubic building.

This church of medieval origin and of sober appearance, whose white color is easily recognizable, was built from a chapel of the ninth century. The choir and bell tower dates from the xiith century and the nef of the late fifteenth century. The chapiteaux of the northern choir and the north side are admired by the famous ones, and the baptismal fonts (seventeenth century), the Virgin of Pierre, the neo-Gothic oak chair (xixe) and the carved Christ embellishment the interior of the building. The stained glass windows end a harmonious ensemble with the martyrdom of Saint Saturnin and the great glass of Christ King, located above the altar.

On the old square of the village stands this th century church with a Roman steeple. The central nave is covered with a self-evident structure, and the choir, sheltered by an ogives arch, consists of a single square span and lit by a stained glass window. The staircase that rises towards the bell tower is in chestnut trees, the tree giving its name to the city. Concerts and conferences are regularly organised in this place which, besides a place of worship, is a true cultural area in the heart of Châtenay-Malabry.

Many people miss it out when they make journey between Boulogne and Chaville. Formerly dedicated to St. John the Baptist, this church was later on devoted to St. Romain, patron of boatmen, from 1504. With more than a thousand years, it has inscriptions that date its first foundations as far back as 675. And over such a long period, of course, the history of the church is very hectic: it was destroyed by the Normans in the ninth century, rebuilt in the thirteenth century, then rebuilt in the sixteenth century, after the ravages of the Hundred Years War. The choir was added in the eighteenth century.

 In 1789, the upper part of the tower threatening to fall into ruin struck and replaced by a campanile. In 1901, the statue of St. Romain is added in front, and in 1937, the church is included in the supplementary inventory

Built in the 1930 s, this red brick church is neobyzantine. It has three cupolas, as well as imposing frescoes made by Jean-Pierre Laurens and his students, and cover almost entirely its walls and ceilings. They present references to the author Charles Péguy, friend of the artist. This building and its decorations have been inscribed in Historic Monuments since 2004, and are now the pride of Châtillon.

Part of the Nanterre diocese, it is a Catholic place of worship. Visitors have several options for discovering the cathedral. They can take a virtual tour online, or take an individual tour using the booklets available at the cathedral entrance. These booklets offer explanations of the cathedral's history and heritage, as well as religious procedures for a personal pilgrimage. Group visits can also be organized by contacting the parish. A book entitled "Découvrir la cathédrale Sainte-Geneviève de Nanterre" is available for sale from the parish office.
