Until the advent of the Second Empire, Clignancourt was only a small country village north of Paris. For worship, its inhabitants were attached to the church of St. Peter of Montmartre. In 1853, the villagers asked for permission to build a new church, which was approved in 1858 by the Paris City Council. The first stone was laid in May 1859. The construction, in neo-Romanesque style, was entrusted to the architect Paul-Eugène Lequeux (1806-1873). In 1863, an imperial decree created the new parish whose church is dedicated to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception of Clignancourt. Under the Commune, the church was ransacked. Although it suffers from a slight lack of light, the church has beautiful paintings made by renowned artists (Félix-Joseph Barrias, Michel Dumas, Romain Cazes). Its choir, adorned with murals and figurative stained-glass windows, exudes a certain artistic warmth as it competes for a beautiful axial chapel of the Virgin. The nave is decorated with stained glass windows in the Art Deco style.
C3 The organ was built by Merklin in 1893. In 1970, Beuchet-Debierre extended the organ and carried out a re-harmonisation of the piping (entrusted to J. Picaud). On this occasion, new Plein Jeu stops were added. In 1988, additional work was carried out by Jacques Barbéris and the Parisian Manufacture des Grandes Organs with the aim of improving the instrument that suffered from heating. In 1990, Dargassies carried out a complete restoration that corrected the 1970 re-harmonization. Seven new stops were added: Doublette 2' at GO, Fourniture/Cymbal at GO; Flûte harmonique 8', Flûte octaviante4', Octavin 2' and Carillon III at the Swell. In 2010, Dargassies performed an overhaul.
