Temple de l'Amour, Neuilly-sur-Seine
Temple de l'Amour, Neuilly-sur-Seine, Historical monument on Île de la Jatte in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France.
The Temple of Love features a circular structure with an ornamental dome resting on neoclassical columns along the Seine riverbank.
Built in 1785 by Louis Carrogis Carmontelle for Philippe d'Orléans, this temple was first named Temple of Mars before its relocation to Île de la Jatte in 1821.
This architectural folly represents French garden art from the 18th century, when ornamental temples became essential elements in aristocratic parks.
The monument stands 20 minutes on foot from Pont de Levallois metro station and remains accessible year-round from the island's banks.
A stucco nymph now resides in this temple, elevated on masonry foundation since its last relocation in 1930.
