Timeline

Origin and history

The church Saint-Paul-Sainte-Geneviève-du-Montfort is a religious building located on Rue du Buisson in the town of Aubervilliers, Île-de-France. Its name is inspired by the place called Montfort, a territory shared between Aubervilliers and La Courneuve, urbanized during the first half of the 20th century. This toponym is also associated with the Ru de Montfort, a local stream named after a nearby dike.

The building of the church dates back to the 1930s, as part of the work of the Cardinal's Buildings, an initiative to erect places of worship in areas of rapid urban and industrial expansion. This context reflects the spiritual and community needs of a growing population, marked by industrialization and rapid urbanization in the Paris suburbs.

No additional information is available on the precise architectural features, the craftsmen involved, or the significant events related to this building. The sources are limited to its connection to Catholicism and its geographical anchor in the Seine-Saint-Denis department.
