This Church was built in a Romano-byzanton style
between 1863 and 1872, as part of the
Haussmannian works, at the crossroads called the
Quatre-Chemins, formed by the meeting of the
avenues of Maine, Châtillon, Montrouge and the rue
d’Orléans, by Joseph Auguste Émile Vaudremer, the
architect in charge of the 14th arrondissement. It
now occupies a triangular plot framed by avenue du
Maine and avenue du Général-Leclerc, and its bell
tower overlooks the central crossroads of the district,
place Victor-et-Hélène-Basch. It is the noisiest church
in Paris!

This organ was built by Charels Spackman Barker in 1868,
just after the organ of Saint Augustin, and it was the
second organ in Paris with electrical traction.
It was severly damaged during the Commune and
reconstructed in 1891/1892 by Merklin (1892), who
replaced the electrical system with his own Schmoele-Mol
electro-pneumaticalsystem.
Gutschenritter worked on the organ in 1917, 1918 and
1924 (three stops added). In 1935, Gutschenritter added
four more stops and revised the mechanics and wind
supply of the organ.
In 1950-1951, Beuchet-debierre renovated the organ in a
more neo-baroque direction and installed an electrical
traction again.
During the decennia which followed, several modifications
were carried out, including a revoicing and addition of
three stops by Jacques Picaud.
The latest maintenance was carried out by Alain Léon.
