About
Standing at the heart of Le Havre, St. Joseph's Church is a striking example of post‑war modernist architecture crafted by Auguste Perret. The 107‑metre‑tall lantern tower pierces the skyline, its concrete shell illuminated at night like a lighthouse guiding visitors to the city’s rebuilt center. Inside, the space unites a central plan nave with extraordinary stained‑glass windows by Marguerite Huré, whose abstract palettes of six colors transform the interior into a kaleidoscopic light show.
