This Church was built in a former grant hall, built
between 1821 and 1825. It was the architect François-
Christian Gau who was responsible for transforming
the building while maintaining its first 4 spans, between
1841 and 1843. After his death, the church was
terminated by Theodore Ballu.
After 1870, the parish was assigned to the Alsatian
lutherans who were refugees in Paris. Jt had as famous
parishioners, Princess Hélène of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin, daughter-in-law of King Louis-Philippe (who
was the instigator of the construction of the church and
was a faithful assiduous), Paul Gauguin and Baron
Haussmann. It was him who offered the magnificent
crucifix of the Table of Communion, in ivory.

In 1841, the Lutheran Church of Paris was awarded a
second place of worship, after the Billettes. In the
summer of 1842, proposals were made by Cavaillé-Coll
and the final project (two keyboards and 13 stops: 7 on
GO and 4 on Récit) was drawn up by the knight
Neukomm. The instrument was inaugurated on May 2,
1844, by Boëly and Neukomm.
In 1907, Mutin did an overhaul and in 1912, he carried
out more extensive works: the instrument was enlarged
and its scope increased: 20 stops on two keyboards of
56 notes and a pedal board of 30 notes. The instrument
was inaugurated by Louis Vierne on December 16, 1912.
Subsequently, the instrument was maintained by Mutin,
Gutschenritter and Helbig until a complete overhaul
was carried out in 1958 by the Roethinger Branch of
Poitiers.
In 2019, François Delangue dusted the 1054 pipes and
installed a new engine.
