Histoire de Paris

Eglise de la Rédemption
Entre 1821 et 1825, l’architecte Lusson édifia, pour les bureaux de l’octroi, dans un style néo-classique proche de Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, une halle de déchargement destinée à l’emmagasinage et à la vérification des marchandises soumises aux droits. La voûte cintrée de la façade évoque encore cette halle, concédée en 1841 à l’église luthérienne, qui y établit son deuxième lieu de culte à Paris. L’architecte Gau aménagea le portique à colonnes et le fronton qui épouse la forme de la voûte. Seules quatre des onze travées d’origing furent conservées, et un choeur arrondi ma la partie est du bâtiment.

History of Paris

Church of the Redemption
Between 1821 and 1825, the architect Lusson built, for the tax offices, in a neo-classical style close to Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, an unloading hall intended for the storage and verification of goods subject to duties. . The arched vault of the facade still evokes this hall, granted in 1841 to the Lutheran church, which established its second place of worship in Paris there. The architect Gau designed the portico with columns and the pediment which follows the shape of the vault. Only four of the eleven original bays were preserved, and a rounded chancel in the eastern part of the building.
