St-Nicolas de Calais Church

St-Nicolas de Calais Church

Calais, FR

A new parish is erected in the eastern ZUP of Calais, developed for the housing of the workers of the Dunkirk ironworks. The religious authorities first foresee a large parish centre, on the scale of the number of inhabitants expected in the area. Calaisian architect Georges Wiart drew up a preliminary project corresponding to this ambition in 1965. But the reduction of the budget led in 1967 to changes in the project for the parish centre, which was built in 1971-1974.

Église-Mémorial Orthodoxe Russe Saint-Job

Église-Mémorial Orthodoxe Russe Saint-Job

Uccle, BE

St. Job's Memorial Church was built by emigrants who fled the Russian revolution. They started to raise funds in 1928 and were able to lay the foundation stone on 2 February 1936. The architect-painter Nicolai Istselenov was assisted by a committee. The patron saint, St James, was chosen because his feast day, 19 May, coincides with the birthday of Tsar Nicholas II, to whose memory the church is dedicated. More generally, it was to commemorate the sufferings of the imperial family and the victims of the revolution.
