Church of Les Billettes, Paris
Church of Les Billettes, Paris, Lutheran church in Le Marais, Paris, France.
Description
The Church of Les Billettes is a house of worship in the 4th arrondissement, designed with a neoclassical facade featuring Doric and Corinthian pilasters. The building stands at 24 Rue des Archives and currently serves as a Lutheran congregation.
History
A sanctuary was first established in 1295 as the Chapel of Miracles and drew many pilgrims before undergoing complete reconstruction between 1754 and 1758. This rebuilding introduced the neoclassical style that continues to define the structure today.
Culture
The church displays important paintings from the 1600s, including works by Johann Carl Loth depicting religious scenes. These artworks serve as visual expressions of faith that visitors can encounter during a visit.
Practical
The church is located in a central district and is easily accessible on foot, making it simple to visit and explore. Visitors should be respectful and quiet, as services take place on Sundays and the space remains an active place of worship for the community.
Did you know?
Adjacent to the church stands a 15th-century cloister that remains the only medieval cloister in Paris to preserve its original architectural form completely. This rare survival makes it a quiet witness to the past that many visitors pass by without noticing.
