Free and open admission

Free visit of this church with remarkable architecture, built in 1960 by the architect Jean Rouquet, influenced by the work of Le Corbusier. Its austere appearance on the outside actually hides many technical innovations such as its glulam wooden beams or its curved roof to which the slopes and counter-slopes of the ground respond harmoniously.

About the location

église Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire

36 rue Alsace-Lorraine 44400 Rezé

Loire-Atlantique
Pays de la Loire

Built in 1960, this example of oblique architecture is due to Jean Rouquet, an architect influenced by Le Corbusier. Its austere appearance, with minimal natural light, is attenuated by its curved glulam beams like the roof. The slopes and counter-slopes of the ground allow perfect visibility.
