Protestant temple of Orléans, Protestant church in Orléans, France.

The Protestant Temple of Orléans is a circular central-plan building faced with light gray stone blocks, its facade topped by a molded cornice set with carved medallions. Four columns frame the entrance beneath a triangular pediment bearing a cross, and an inscribed band reads "HONNEUR À LA GLOIRE ET À LA VERTU" and "DIEU SEUL EST GRAND". Inside, a dark wooden pulpit with a pointed roof and cross stands against a white curved wall, and black signs display psalm numbers.

The building was constructed between 1836 and 1839 by architect François-Narcisse Pagot on the site of a demolished medieval church. Its creation marks a period when Protestants in France could again freely build their own places of worship.

The parish belongs to the United Protestant Church of France. Inside, the black hymn boards on the white wall announce the Psalms and hymns of the service, such as Psaume 121 and Cantique 111, and the pulpit carved by Marchais, Rebut and Benaardeau still carries two white ribbon bows on its base.

The temple stands at 2 rue du Cloître Saint-Pierre Empont, a short walk from Orléans cathedral. The entrance on the curved facade is reached by a short flight of steps; the two grey paneled doors lie inside the columned portal. The interior is a single circular room, so the pulpit and the gallery supported by cast iron columns are visible from the doorway.

Coralie Beluse, director of the Protestant orphanage l'Accueil familial, took in orphans and saved Jewish children from the Shoah during World War II. She was recognized as Righteous Among the Nations, and a commemorative plaque was inaugurated in 2016 on rue Poirier.
