A contemporary monument that can be in an ancient city as Dole, which is of architectural interest some and deserves a deviates from the historic centre to discover it. This steel and concrete copper, nave, built between 1961 and 1964, thanks to the involvement of a large number of inhabitants, was designed by the architect Anton Korady. The railings are the work of Maurice Calka: they illustrate the battles of light and darkness, theme inspired by the text of the Apocalypse of Saint Jean. Architecture, the furniture and decor translate a can of openness to the world and time present.
