Origin and history

The church Saint-Joseph-de-Buzenval is a religious building built in 1924 in Rueil-Malmaison, Hauts-de-Seine. It is distinguished by its brick structure, offered by the owner of a nearby brick factory located in Garches. The building, sober, combines bricks and concrete, with a long-paned roof and a flat bedside. Its wooden bell tower, added around 1935, completes an architecture typical of parish churches of the early twentieth century.

The history of this church is marked by its local anchor and its role in the Catholic community. In 2011, an ambon, created by the Atelier d'Arimathie, was installed, adding a contemporary artistic touch. The church was also the place of ministry of notable religious figures, such as Vincent Serralda, the future vicar of the Church of St. Nicholas of the Chardonnet, and Didier Berthet, who was the parish priest in the late 1990s before becoming bishop of St. These links underline its importance in the Franciscan religious landscape.

Located in the 3 passage Saint-Antoine, the church Saint-Joseph-de-Buzenval is part of the architectural heritage of Hauts-de-Seine. Its history reflects both local dynamics, such as the proximity to Garches' brickwork, and its integration into wider religious networks, especially through the paths of its priests. Available sources, such as the Merimée base or the observatories of religious heritage, bear witness to this as a modest and emblematic place of its time.
