-St Joseph's Church is a church in the French Atlantic port of [[Le Havre]]. It was built, along with the vast majority of the current town, after the total devastation the town suffered during the [[Second World War]]. It is dedicated to local citizens killed during those air raids.
-==Structure==
-The Church was designed by the chief architect for the reconstruction of the town, [[Auguste Perret]]. Work was begun in 1951 and the church was completed by 1958. The tower is 106m tall and acts as a beacon visible from out at sea, especially at night when the tower is illuminated.
-[[Auguste Perret]] was the teacher and mentor to the Swiss architect [[Le Corbusier]].
