Temple du Change, Protestant church building in Vieux Lyon district, France

The Temple du Change stands as a neoclassical structure with five arches across its facade and four substantial pillars supporting an imperial-style ceiling.

Originally built between 1631 and 1653 as a money exchange facility, the building underwent reconstruction in 1748 under architect Jacques-Germain Soufflot's direction.

Since 1803, the Temple du Change has served the Protestant community of Lyon, marking a transition from its initial role as a financial institution.

Located at 2 Rue de la Loge in Lyon's 5th arrondissement, the temple accommodates 600 people and regularly hosts religious services and concerts.

The facade features two clocks: one displaying traditional time and another tracking days, months, and years, installed in December 1999.

Location: 5th arrondissement of Lyon

Architects: Jacques-Germain Soufflot
