The Église Notre-Dame de Royan, located in Charente-Maritime, is a modernist church completed in 1955 and designed by architect Guillaume Gillet. Rising 56 meters, the structure exemplifies brutalist architecture with its bold, sculptural forms and raw concrete aesthetic characteristic of post-war ecclesiastical design. Classified as a historical monument and recognized as part of France's twentieth-century architectural heritage, the building represents a significant moment when the Catholic Church embraced contemporary architectural language to create sacred spaces adapted to the modern age.
