We owe the following description of St John's church to Father
Steiger, the parish priest.
History
The
church was built between 1897 and 1904 by the architect Anatole de Baudot.
Its magnificent stained-glass windows are by Jacques Galland. The church was
built thanks to the perseverance of Father Sobaux. He was the parish priest
from 1908 to 1913. One of the noteworthy aspects of the church is the building
technique which was ahead of its time in looking forward to the use of reinforced
concrete.
