About the location

Temple de Versailles

3 rue Hoche 78000 Versailles

Yvelines
Île-de-France

On the site of the current temple on Hoche Street, there was, until 1880, a pretty circular colonnade, built during the reign of Louis XV to serve as a resting place during the royal processions of Corpus Christi. This resting place was made available from 1821 to the Anglicans and later to the Reformed Protestants. The building threatened with ruin, a new building was built between 1880 and 1882, in a very sober Romanesque Revival style, on plans of the architect of the city Albert Petit. Following the laws of separation of the Churches and the State, the building, owned by the city of Versailles, is assigned to the religious association known today as the United Protestant Church of Versailles. With the Centre-Huit, it is one of its two places of worship.
