Origin and history
The church of Notre-Dame-du-Perpetuel-Secours, located at 31 Albert Ier Street in Asnières-sur-Seine, is a parish church of neo-Roman style. Its construction began in 1934 under the direction of architect Alfred Nasousky, with the blessing of the first stone by Cardinal Verdier. Funded by the Work of the Cardinal's Buildings, it was consecrated in 1936, but the Second World War interrupted the work, leaving the bell tower unfinished and the facade simply murated.
The current façade, completed in June 2020 under the control of Aude Daniault (Archi DS agency), includes a portal adorned with a representation of Notre-Dame-du-Perpetuel-Secours in polished concrete, inspired by a 14th century icon preserved in the church. This project, costing 900,000 euros, adds a narthex, a weekly chapel and meeting rooms, while favouring a transparent facade to illuminate the interior.
The building, still active, hosts Sunday Masses at 10.30am and 6pm. Its architecture combines legacy of the 1930s and modernity, reflecting the liturgical and urban evolutions of Asnières-sur-Seine, in the Hauts-de-Seine.
