Église de la Très Sainte-Trinité

Église de la Très Sainte-Trinité rises in France as an oval church shaped by contemporary sacred architecture. Built between 1965 and 1966, it reaches 18 metres and carries twelve pointed tripodal pillars across its façade. Joseph Belmont and Jean Dick designed the building as the Esplanade neighbourhood expanded around it. A carefully tended garden softens the strong geometry and creates a quiet approach.

Inside, fifteen light walls replace traditional stained glass with panels made from fibreglass, resin and polyester. Master glazier François Chapuis created the panels, which spread shifting colour through the nave. The oval floor plan gathers your attention towards the white choir wall and its cast figure of Christ. Colourful sculptures by Gaby Kretz joined the interior in 2006, while a Tree of Jesse appears above the entrance. Look up from the pillars to the light walls, and the church reveals how structure, material and art shape its atmosphere.
