About this building
St. Patrick's Church has a contemporary look. Facing north and with an elongated plan, it forms a regular L-shaped plan with the chapel placed perpendicularly. The façade has three double-leafed entrance doors under a small canopy. Made of sandstone and limestone covered with plaster, it is extended by three cradle-shaped openings each housing a bell, the whole being set out in a triangle. Finally, the gradual vertical rise of the facade wall leads to a high protruding cross that crowns the building to the east.
