Oratoire du Louvre, Protestant church in Les Halles, Paris, France
The Temple Protestant de l'Oratoire du Louvre exhibits baroque architecture with a facade that rises near the Louvre Museum along rue Saint-Honoré.
Originally constructed as a Catholic chapel in 1621 under Louis XIII, the building transformed into a Protestant temple following Napoleon's decree in 1811.
The temple maintains a tradition of liberal Protestant theology, organizing religious services, concerts, and theological discussions within its historic walls.
Visitors can attend Sunday morning worship services at 10:30 AM, with guided tours available to explore the architectural elements and religious heritage.
A monument adjacent to the church commemorates Admiral de Coligny, marking the location where he was killed during the Saint Bartholomew's Day massacre.
