The Russian chapel
The Schneider factory attracted a Russian community fleeing the revolution, which formed an association and decided to build a place of worship. Construction of the church was completed between 1938 and 1939. It was consecrated on the 24th of September 1939 and dedicated to ”Notre-Dame de Toutes les Protections”. Now the property of the town of Champagne-sur-Seine, the church has become a place of memory and was awarded the ”Patrimoine d’intérêt régional” label. It opens its doors to the public once a month, offering a chance to discover this rare and precious place, as well as documentation about urbanisation in the town and the factory’s history.
It opens on the last Saturday of each month (free admission), from 3 to 5 pm, and on request for groups (with an admission fee).
