NEUCHÂTEL 🇨🇭 🌞 🌲 ✨🌲 🌳 🐦

Basilique Notre-Dame de l'Assomption Neuchatel

communément appelée église rouge1, est un lieu de culte catholique construit entre 1897 et 1906. L’architecture de cet édifice de grandes dimensions ne sacrifie pas à l’unité stylistique prisée au XIXe siècle, mais juxtapose habilement les références néo-médiévales et les solutions constructives résolument contemporaines. L’érection de cette église revêt aussi un aspect symbolique, marquant de façon tangible l’essor et l’acceptation du catholicisme à Neuchâtel à la fin du XIXe siècle.
