The Notre-Dame de Lourdes church is a Roman Catholic church located in Libreville, Gabon. The building was constructed by the Institut du Christ Roi and was partially funded by Ali Bongo.
On August 15, 2015, the official inauguration of the church facade took place. The facade is described as having a beauty and charm that makes the site a tourist destination in its own right, with a design that recalls the greatest cathedrals in the world.
The exterior of the church features azulejos tiles that were manufactured in Portugal. The parish is administered by a priest from the Institut du Christ-Roi, who serves as the parish priest. The facade was inaugurated by the President of Gabon, Ali Bongo, in the presence of Cardinal Raymond Burke and Basile Mvé Engone, Archbishop of Libreville.
