About the location

Temple protestant

13 ter Boulevard Lundy, 51100 Reims

Marne
Grand Est

Having arranged different places of worship since 1833, the Church reformed by Reims settles down in 1867 in a building in 13 ter, boulevard Lundy. Destroyed by the bombardments of the World War I, his reconstruction to Charles Letrosne (1868-1938), chief architect of the civil buildings(ships) and of the national palaces is owed. Drawing inspiration from the Temple of Levallois-Perret, the building alloys the references of medieval architecture and constructive modernity, with its structure and its concrete(watertight) nave. The garden of the temple, that the inhabitants of Reims call "cloister", visible of the boulevard, is an exception in the typology of the Protestant religious buildings. Inaugurated on November 11th, 1923, he(it) evokes the painful past of the World War I in Reims, since he has a function(office) of monument to the deaths, in memory of 113 servicemen «children of the parish, died for France» and 14 civil victims of bombardments.
