Object description
The drawing depicts the main facade of the brick church in the Art Deco style, combining elements of historic styles and modernist influences. Its plan is traditional, cruciform, with an elongated nave, a slightly projecting transept, and a faceted apse. The building is asymmetrical: the entrance is through an irregular portico with six columns, offset to the left; to the right of the main entrance is a staircase leading to the choir gallery, and a turret completes this volume. Above the transept is an octagonal tower, topped by a Baroque corrugated roof. The facades have porthole windows. This project was probably designed for a town, not a village. Also, made at the end of 1938, it probably had no chance of being carried out due to the imminent outbreak of the Second World War.
