About Cathedral Notre-Dame de Le Havre
Notre-Dame Cathedral in Le Havre, also known as the Saint Joseph Church, is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in the city of Le Havre, in the Normandy region of France. Designed by architect Auguste Perret and completed in 1957, the cathedral is a remarkable example of 20th-century religious architecture and is considered one of Perret's most important works. The cathedral's simple and minimalist design features a reinforced concrete structure, with an innovative use of natural light through its impressive stained-glass windows, designed by Marguerite Huré. The cathedral's interior is also adorned with a beautiful mural by artist Georges Braque, as well as various sculptures and mosaics. Despite being relatively new compared to other French cathedrals, Notre-Dame of Le Havre is an important landmark and a significant part of the city's architectural heritage. It is also known for being one of the few cathedrals built entirely in the 20th century.
