The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Temple circulaire (rotonde de 7, 50 mètres de diamètre) construit selon les plans de Chavonet à partir de 1846. Le temple est mis en service en 1849, mais un défaut de mise en oeuvre de la voûte rend toute parole inaudible : des travaux sont donc entrepris dès 1851. Quelques travaux ont été effectués en 1995. Le temple sert au culte protestant une fois tous les trois mois.

History
Circular temple (rotunda of 7.50 metres in diameter) built according to the plans of Chavonet from 1846. The temple is put into service in 1849, but a defect in the execution of the vault makes all speech inaudible: work is therefore undertaken from 1851. Some work was carried out in 1995. The temple serves Protestant worship once every three months.
