Église luthérienne de la Rédemption

The church occupies a former unloading hall built between 1821 and 1825, transformed for worship by the architect François-Christian Gau between 1841 and 1843 and completed by Théodore Ballu. Princess Hélène of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, who in 1837 married Ferdinand-Philippe d’Orléans, son of King Louis-Philippe, was the instigator of its construction. Paul Gauguin was married here in 1873, and Baron Haussmann’s funeral was held here in 1891. The parish belongs to the United Protestant Church of France.
