Hiking

An unmissable visit to the reconstructed city of Le Havre. It is a masterpiece by Auguste Perret with 6,500 stained glass windows displayed on imposing concrete walls. The Saint-Joseph Church remembers the victims of the bombings of the Second World War. Breathtaking architectural beauty!

Hiking

This modern church in Le Havre is dedicated to Saint Joseph (Saint-Joseph), the foster father of Jesus Christ. Like Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, he is a man on the threshold between the Old and the New Testament. Joseph was from the house of David, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. He was a carpenter by trade and the fiancé of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The commemoration day of Saint Joseph in the calendar of saints is on March 19th, and on May 1st the church celebrates the feast of “Joseph the Worker”.

First and foremost, the modernity of the building is impressive. From an architectural point of view, I think it's a success. A nice change from the otherwise gloomy and dark church buildings.
