Description
Summary:During the XXth century, the construction sites of churches follow in Charente-Maritime an evolution which we could find in many other French dioceses. Once past the neogothic and neo-Romanic styles, the modernity bursts in the interwar period with a church very « art deco » in La Rochelle. Then they are the repairs of ruins caused by the war, illustrated especially by Notre-Dame de Royan. In the 1950s and 1960s, numerous places of worship, often modest, are born. The movement stops abruptly in 1971. It will resume however at the end of the century through two or three realizations marked by what we called the post-modernity.
