This organ was built in 1929-1930 by Gutschenritter and
was inaugurated on January, 18, 1931 by Daniel Lesur and
Henriette Roget.
At that time, its stoplist was as follows:
Clavier de grand-orgue expressif, 56 notes
Principal 8
Bourdon 8
Flûte harmonique 8
Prestant 4
Clavier de récit expressif, 56 notes
Gambe 8
Voix céleste 8
Flûte douce 4
Nasard 2 2/3
I/P, II/P, II/I en 8’, II/I en 16’, Trémolo.
In 1963, Erwin Müller replaced the Flûte harmonique GO
by a Plein-jeu II.
In 1978, important works were carried out by Adrien
Macet. The swellbox of the GO was suppressed and the
stoplist of the Swell was enitrely redefined towards a neo-
calssical style. The inauguration took place on October,
22, 1978 by Marie-Louise Girod.

In 1921-1924 a small church with a red brick façade
was built in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, on
the edge of the Park of Buttes Chaumont: the
sanctuary of the Lutheran parish of La Villette,
which was renamed Saint-Pierre in 1982. The
church was designed by two well-known architects,
Mr. Naville and Mr. Chauquet. These plans
included, in addition to the raised worship hall of a
few steps on Rue Manin, a basement room at the
level of Rue Pailleron, overlooking a garden.
