Object description
The drawing depicts a plan and a cross-section of the brick church in the Art Deco style, combining elements of historic styles and modernist influences. Its plan is traditional and 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.
