Marseille, FR
The village of Les Trois-Lucs only began to develop at the beginning of the 20th century, with the arrival of the tramway linking this remote location to the heart of Marseille. Soon, the need for a place of worship was felt. The Camau-Parenque family offered a piece of land on the express condition that the chapel to be built there would be dedicated to Saint Rita in memory of their deceased daughter. The parish priest, Father Jean-Baptiste Gandolfi, is in charge of the construction of the building. Modest, made of bricks, it was inaugurated in 1932 by Mgr Dubourg, Bishop of Marseille.
Binsfeld (Weiswampach), LU
The present Church of Sainte Trinité was built in 1894 replacing an earlier 15th-century chapel. Most of the old furniture was preserved in the newly built building. Unfortunately, an old Gothic choir with frescoes was demolished in the 20th century.
Maisons-Alfort, FR
Built at the beginning of the 20th century, the church was classified as a Historic Monument in 1984. The project was particularly interesting because it was supported by many patrons and artists. The octagonal bell tower is particularly impressive: it dominates the surroundings with its 53 m high. The style of the building, in reinforced cement, is a witness to the new rationalist school of the 1930s, represented here by the architects Marc Brillaud de Laujardière and Raymond Puthomme. The church houses painted wooden panels, art deco style, glass canopies by Max Ingrand, frescoes by Paule and Max Ingrand, as well as a monumental statue of Saint Agnes.
Saint-Gilles, BE
The parish church of Sainte-Alène was built in different phases, from 1938 to 1972, by the architect Roger Bastin. The construction of the church was delayed due to the war, the many hesitations of the architects and the difficulty in raising the necessary funds. Almost completed in 1951, the church will be modified somewhat further. In 1972, Bastin decorated the façade, built from 1946 onwards, with a decorative metal motif. Inside, a set of semicircular arches is used in both the structures and the decoration. Today, the church is used by the Brazilian community.
Angoville, FR
The Sainte-Anne Romanesque church dates back to the 12th century and was transformed by renovations in the 13th and 18th centuries, which added a nave and chancel, and later a bell tower and a sacristy. The church was recently renovated in 2016, after the building, and two-thirds of the village were destroyed during the 1944 liberation of Europe. Near the church is the fountain Sainte-Anne (1846) whose water would have beneficial virtues.
Boussac, FR
Built in the 13th century, the church was, in all likelihood, the Chapel of the castle. In the 15th century, it underwent profound modifications, with the addition of 4 chapels.
Uccle, BE
The church of Sainte-Anne was built in 1912 by the architect Depuits. During the winter of 1944-45, the parish hall served as a refuge for the residents of the Malmedy hospice, victims of the German invasion. In the early 1950s, the church received stained glass windows by Jean Slagmuylder (1901-1968) based on drawings by Margot Weemaes (1909-1993).
Nantes, FR
The church of Sainte-Anne was built between 1845 and 1847, according to the plans of the architect Joseph-Fleury Chenantais. In 1868, the town council decided to enlarge the church by adding the bell tower planned by Chenantais, which was not built. A fourth bay was also built, with two side chapels dedicated to the Virgin and Saint Anne forming a transept, and two sacristies surrounding the chevet. In 1870, the façade was moved forward four metres and two new bays were built. Eugène Chenantais, the architect's son, finally built the spire in 1872.
Bours, FR
