This photography book by Lucien Hervé, the renowned photographer of Le Corbusier, traces, through a gaze constantly seeking a modern perspective, a brief history of sacred architecture.

Through his travels around the world, Lucien Hervé collected images of churches, abbeys, and other religious buildings, forming a journey spanning nearly 2,000 years, from the earliest Syrian churches to Notre-Dame-du-Haut at Le Corbusier’s Ronchamp. His pursuit of pure form and evocative lines resonates particularly strongly in the expression of Cistercian architecture.
