Historique

Ouverte en 1963, l'église (le bâtiment comme le mobilier) a été entièrement dessinée par Maurice Salembier, dans le cadre des chantiers du diocèse. En 2008, l'église de la Nativité fut rénovée sous la direction de Maurice Salembier : le chœur est refait à neuf, le baptistère rehaussé, des salles paroissiales rénovées, un hall d'accueil est créé et les éclairages et peintures repensées. Maurice Salembier est décédé en avril 2008.

Architecture

Les proportions, les rapports entre les éléments, les matériaux, sont typiques de l'école Le Corbusier. L'intérieur du bâtiment a son sol incliné en pente douce vers l'autel.
