A post-war church in Saint-Lô, Normandy.

From Wikipedia:

"The city being a strategic crossroad, Saint-Lô was almost totally destroyed (95% according to common estimates) during the Battle of Normandy in World War II, earning the nickname of the Capital of the Ruins by Samuel Beckett; it was even actually questioned whether to rebuild it or to leave the ruins intact as a testimony of the bombing. In any event it was rebuilt and is a center of French gastronomy focusing on the production of award winning chopped liver."
