Sainte-Mathilde

Recorded as Notre-Dame-de-Pitié-Sainte-Mathilde, the church was built in 1933 and 1934 by the architect Jean Charles Rey under the Chantiers du Cardinal, to give the parish of Notre-Dame-de-Pitié a larger and more central building; in 1934 it received the old church’s font and organ. It became a parish in 1951, and the bell tower first planned for it was never built. Its reinforced-concrete frame is rendered, under a round barrel vault. The photograph shows the altar beneath the round arches of the nave.
