A great example of brutalist architecture dating back from 1958
“Considered a masterpiece of modern architecture, the church of Notre-Dame de Royan, inaugurated in 1958, was built in three years by architects Guillaume Gillet and Marc Hébrard, in collaboration with engineers Bernard Laffaille, René Sarger and Ou Tseng.
After the bombings of January 5, 1945, which destroyed the old neo-Gothic sanctuary dating from 1874 (located at the current Place Charles de Gaulle), it was decided to build a larger building, inspired by the aesthetics of the great Gothic cathedrals.
Completed in 1958, it is entirely built in rough concrete and was classified as a historical monument in 1988 and labeled "Monument of the 20th century" in 2004.”
