    Outstanding place, I had a very good time in this place at night, as I watched a classical music concert, lovely time there, the environment made me feel like I’m on a different country, definitely a good place for tourists. The thing is, it must be open to public to discover it.

  • 4/5 Amine T. 2 years ago on Google
    Designed by a glass artist from Chartres, the vertical stained glass panels brilliantly illustrate familiar Catholic foundational stories but in a gloriously colorful way. The floor to ceiling panels line the two elongated walks of the church with the light diffusing differently on one side from the other, dependent upon the sun. Clever hidden images, like one of the Paris Church of Notre Dame can be found. Closes early some days so check hours.

  • 4/5 Rocio M. 3 years ago on Google
    An example of European modernist architecture. This Catholic church was built in 1956 and it is notable for its elongated concrete entrance and its stunning stained-glass windows, which were designed by noted French artist Gabriel Loire. You can attend concerts there.

    One of the most prestigious cathedrals in the city. Non Christians can also visit, outside of praying hours ofcourse.

    This is a modernistic design for the church. All over is concrete but the morning sun was shining through the stainless glass and it was magical!

  • 4/5 joyce .. 1 year ago on Google
    This modern architecture looks simple outside. The moment you walk into this French Catholic church, the quality of the glasswork would blow you away. Hallgrimskirkja in Reykjavik just popped up in my mind - both emphasize the vertical elements.

    A hidden gem in Casablanca. A modernist church whose main attraction are the amazing stained glass windows by Gabriel Loire. Definitely worth a visit.

  • 2/5 Sorana E. 2 years ago on Google
    Interesting church built in brutalist style. However, the hours are not visible anywhere so we went there in vain, as we could not get in. We were told it opens at 2PM and we went there at noon.

  • 1/5 D C. 10 months ago on Google
    This church is shameful and a disgrace to Catholics. I am a lifelong, baptized and confirmed Catholic… I went to the church on Sunday June 4 to celebrate mass and take communion and I was DENIED ENTRY BY A MUSLIM GUARD BECAUSE I’M NOT BLACK!!!!! Absolutely unacceptable treatment. I am writing to the diocese and the Vatican to complain about this treatment.

    (Translated by Google) The Notre Dame de Lourde church in Casablanca is a place of meditation and prayer to attend. (Original) L'église Notre Dame de Lourde de Casablanca est un lieu de recueillement et de prière à fréquenter.

  • 4/5 Mitch Z. 1 year ago on Google
    It's beautiful and it has a great story of the white virgin however they could do more to maintain the building and while it wasn't filthy I wouldn't call it squeaky-clean. Good place for prayers if that's your thing.

  • 5/5 Lawrence 8 months ago on Google
    If you're Catholic and happen to be in Casablanca, God the Father, Son and holy spirit leads you hear, visit this church even if you're not Catholic, you'll find God and one of the most beautiful architecture in the city after the Cathedral of course:) There's a sale of clothes and jewelry outside the church but they don't push it to you so that's great no hustling. The music is just Catholic, great! I wouldn't leave that out.

    Relatively modern Christian church with stunning stain glass windows. The church was guarded by armed police and military officers. Visitors were being let in about three at a time with time limit of about 10 minutes.

    This church has spectacular stained glass windows. There is also a grotto outside when you can light candles and pray. This was a highlight of my Morocco tour.

  • 5/5 Luigi F. 5 months ago on Google
    Beautiful church with a very calm and serene aura. The stained glass artwork is amazing and is worth a visit. The architectural work is also admirable. It has a pipe organ with a massive stained glass mosiac as the background, which is very impressive. The Grotto is also very calm and quiet. It is very close to the city and can be accessed by taxi easily.

  • 5/5 Michel D. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I saw her build ... It was a community of Franciscan fathers who launched this project, which was quite extraordinary for the time ... The father abbot was a Breton: Father Othon. A brother who seemed very old to me (I was ten years old) did all the woodwork and cabinet work alone, I forgot his name, but not at all in his never hurried and very regular manner ... Under this church there was a first church, two-thirds buried, contemporary with the cave on the forecourt ... The stained glass windows are of a remarkable master glassmaker: Gabriel Loire. Builders: Achille Dangleterre architect and Gaston Zimmer engineer. (Original) Je l'ai vue construire ... C'est une communauté de pères franciscains qui lancé ce chantier assez extraordinaire pour l'époque... Le père abbé était un breton: le père Othon. Un frère qui me paraissait très vieux ( j'avais une dizaine d'années) a réalisé seul toutes les boiseries et ébénisteries, j'ai oublié son nom, mais pas du tout sa manière jamais pressée et très régulière...Sous cette église il y avait une prmière église, aux deux tiers enterrée, contemporaine de la grotte sur le parvis... Les vitraux sont d'un maître verrier remarquable : Gabriel Loire. Constructeurs : Achille Dangleterre architecte et Gaston Zimmer ingénieur.

👍👍 Une magnifique découverte. L'artiste marocain s'appelle Mo Balla, il propose un répertoire poétique de mots, couleurs, silhouettes et formes qui racontent des histoires. De grandes toiles et une fabuleuse série de dessins. Très bel accrochage. *maybe the shadows are all I have* du 7 mars au 14...
