📍 France
The Church of St Joan of Arc in Rouen, France, stands out with its modern architecture, designed by Louis Arretche and inaugurated in 1979. The structure's sweeping lines and sloping roof are meant to evoke both a fish and a boat, symbols tied to Christian iconography. Inside, you’ll find remarkable 16th-century stained glass windows salvaged from the nearby Church of St. Vincent, which lend a historic contrast to the contemporary design. The church is located in the Vieux-Marché square, the historical site where Joan of Arc was martyred in 1431. Early morning and late afternoon provide the best natural lighting for photography, highlighting both the exterior's striking shapes and the interior's stained glass artistry.
