Église luthérienne de la Trinité, Lutheran church in 13th arrondissement, France
Église luthérienne de la Trinité is a Lutheran church at 172 Boulevard Vincent-Auriol in Paris's 13th arrondissement. Its Gothic Revival facade is built of rough brown and grey rubble stone with pale stone quoins at the corners. A large pointed-arch window with three vertical lights and trefoil and quatrefoil openings sits above a pointed-arch doorway with dark wooden doors, and a black iron railing stands in front.
The church was designed by architects Jean Naville and Henri Chauquet and opened to the Protestant community in March 1888. It was built during a period of expanded interest in constructing religious buildings in contemporary architectural styles.
The church serves as a regular gathering place for Lutheran worship and community events that reflect the Protestant tradition in this part of Paris. It remains an active center for the local religious community throughout the year.
The church is accessible by multiple public transportation lines that serve the area around Boulevard Vincent-Auriol. Visitors can participate in regular services or visit during available hours throughout the week.
The building features an uncommon blend of French and Italian architectural traits that becomes particularly evident in the octagonal sacristies paired with connected cylindrical turrets. This stylistic combination makes it a striking example of how different design traditions were merged in religious architecture of that era.
