When Cardinal Verdier decided in early 1930 to launch major construction projects of religious buildings in the "banlieue rouge" (red suburbs), some of them were built in the present-day department of Seine-Saint-Denis (part of the greater Paris area), such as the churches: Saint-Yves-des-Quatre-Routes situated in La Courneuve, Saint-Jean-l'Evangéliste and Sainte-Louise de Marillac in Drancy.
Saint-Yves-des-Quatre-Routes church is the sixteenth "cardinal construction projects" out of the hundred built in the Paris region. Construction of the building was carried out from 1931 to 1933, according to the plans by the architects Michel Bridet and Pierre Robert. The church Saint-Yves-des-Quatre-Routes in La Courneuve was entirely constructed in brick. It features a single nave covered by a ceiling frame and a two-sloped roof made out of reinforced concrete.
It is inscribed on the label "Heritage of the twentieth century". This label no longer exists and has since been replaced by the label "Architecture contemporaine remarquable".
February 24, 2022 - the church is listed as a historic monument in its entirety after being partially listed in 2011. It is remarkable by: the Latin cross plan, the high bell tower, its vaults, its stained glass windows and sculptures.
