Belle architecture

Strange Architecture, really worth discovering.

Élisabethville, once a holiday resort, is today a residential town located in the Yvelines department (France), straddling the communes of Aubergenville and Épône. Created in 1928, it has about 4,000 inhabitants. One of the most remarkable buildings is the Sainte-Thérèse-de-l'Enfant-Jésus church, a reinforced concrete construction with sculptures in the concrete in setting dating from 1928, the work of the architect Paul Tournon and the sculptor Carlo Sarrabezolles

The site of the church has hosted several religious buildings modified over time since the 13th century. But it was in 1856 that the building was completely rebuilt to give rise to the current Catholic church.

Many possibilities are accessible from this place.

Founded in 1127, the Saint-Séverin church in Oinville-sur-Montcient bears witness to the long history of this commune of Yvelines. However, the north wall of the nave is the only one to survive from this period. In a Gothic style, the church was then enlarged in the 16th century. Like many towns in Île-de-France, the church is part of the cultural heritage of Oinville-sur-Montcient and is classified as a historic monument.

The Church of Sainte-Thérèse-de-l'Enfant-Jésus in Elisabethville was built in 1927 in reinforced concrete and as such is one of the first of this style. Although it was restored in 1986, it has not been maintained for several years. But its so particular style in reinforced concrete is still worth the detour!
