The temple of "The Free Evangelical Church of
Paris-Luxembourg" was inaugurated on 11 April
1857 by Pastor Edmond Pressensé, the principal
animator of the Taibout Chapel. His obedience
was part of the movement of the "Liberal
Awakening" before joining the Reformed Church
of France in 1939. In English neo-Gothic style, the
temple was built by architect Alexandre Francis
de Valcour. In 2005, the parish merged with that
of the Protestant Temple of Pentemont and then
took the name of "Paroisse de Pentemont-
Luxembourg". From the street, the chapel is
almost invisible and only the portal crowned with
a gable indicates the religious character of the
place. The worship area upstairs, located slightly
rectangular, is decorated with a wooden pulpit
and a curious pink carved from the ceiling.

The organ was built by Abbey in 1892 and inaugurated
by Gabriel Pierné. In 1917, Mutin carried out an
overhaul and enlarged the instrument. He installed a
new console that is typical of Mutin.
In 1978 Barbéris re-harmonized the instrument and
added a Cymbale II ranks to the swell.
Located at the top of the gallery, it has the pecularity
of having all its sets of reeds in an expressive box that
allows to achieve striking effects. This arrangement
dear to Albert Schweitzer was probably made by
Charles Mutin.
