Temple protestant de La Rochelle, Protestant temple in La Rochelle, France
The Temple Protestant occupies a former Recollets church building on Saint-Michel Street, featuring a classical stone facade and preserved cloister elements.
Built in 1630 following the siege of La Rochelle, the temple replaced the Grand Temple which Cardinal Richelieu had converted into a Catholic cathedral.
The Protestant Museum, established in 1931 within the temple complex, displays artifacts and documents chronicling Protestant history in western France.
The temple serves as the primary worship location for the United Protestant Church of France congregation in La Rochelle, offering regular services.
The building retains its 1887 pipe organ, installed during renovations that transformed the former Catholic church into a Protestant worship space.
