Eglise Protestante Unie

Paris-Batignolles

44, boulevard des Batignolles, 75017 Paris
The present temple was built in 1895-1898 by architect Felix Paumier in a neo-Romanesque style. It replaced a wooden chapel erected in 1834. In 1972, the church was divided horizontally. The first floor thus became the place of worship, while the ground floor has many meeting rooms. The space of worship is illuminated by beautiful coloured glass windows with geometric patterns made by the Léon Avenet workshops.
C1 The organ was built in 1898 by Joseph Merklin (buffet designed by Félix Paumier). It was the last instrument built by Joseph Merklin before his retirement in 1890. He introduced his new pneumatic transmission system, which he patented on 20 April 1898. On November 14, 1898, two days after Henri Dallier's inauguration of the instrument, Joseph Merklin sold his business to his successors Guttschenritter and Decock, who electrified the wind tunnel in 1913. After meticulous maintenance throughout the 20th century, the instrument was scrupulously restored by Muhleisen in 1995. The instrument was inaugurated by André Stricker and Marie- Louis Girod. In 2009, the two wind reservoirs were restored. In 2019, the instrument was overhauled by Muhleisen.
