Le Havre, the city rebuilt by Auguste Perret

August, 2007
















St. Joseph's Church
St. Joseph´s church is perhaps the most impressive work of Auguste Perret, the architect who designed the reconstruction of Le Havre. This key port was bombed more than one hundred times and lost most of its housing during World War Two. The symmetrical building is organized around a central tower 106 meters high.
