This is a used instrument purchased from a private
Dutch individual. The instrument was acquired
by the parish of ND des Buttes in 2019 where it was
reassembled. On this occasion, two digital stops
were added to the Pedal.
In the 1950s, the parish of St. George of Buttes
Chaumont became too small. The population
of the district has grown in particular with the
slaughterhouses of La Villette. It was then the
parishioners themselves who financed the
construction of a new church at 80 rue de
Meaux, closer to the Villette and in the midst
of modern buildings housing a new
population. The architect Denis Honegger
made the plans for the new church. Work
began in 1960 and mainly used concrete and
glass. The church strikes with its ovoid shape,
with a slightly sloping nave and its almost total
stripping. As such, it is called the "crypt
church", a small humorous note for this
church that celebrates the Assumption of the
Virgin Mary. The place of worship is marked by
a concrete open tower, surmounted by a
cross. Moreover, the modern stained glass
windows that can be seen on the façade and
in the baptistery are the work of the artist Yoki
Aebischer. They were set up in 1962. During
the day, they shine brightly and colorfully. The
church was inaugurated by the archbishop of
Paris on September 13, 2015.
