Architect A. Chomel was instructed to design a modern church in the mid 1960s. This task must have been quite overwhelming as the majority of the area is dominated by neo-gothic, classical and renaissance architecture. In order to make the church fit in, it would need to be a very special piece of architecture. Chomel achieves this by embracing modernity with both hands, using glass and concrete in straight lines to endear the eye to the church.
