Saint-Justin

Place d’Estienne d’Orves 92300 Levallois-Perret

This church is built in a neo-medieval style. The bell tower is off-center at the rear of the building at the left corner1. The current building is the result of successive expansions of a first church inaugurated in 1855. A competition was launched in 1869 to raise a new building, won by Anatole de Baudot. The project was postponed by the war of 1870, and the church was only expanded, and was still undergoing several works until 1912. The stained glass windows, representing Saint Odile and Saint Teresa of the Child Jesus, are from the workshop of the Mauméjean brothers. Source : Wikipedia

E1 The church, dating from the mid-19th century, had a two- manual Mutin organ (1914), which had been modified several times by different builders. The poor condition of the instrument made it unsuitable for developing a high-quality educational and cultural project, and it was therefore decided to build a new organ. In 2017, a new organ was built by the workshops of the Belgian organ builder Thomas, together with Béthines- les-Orgues, reusing part of the pipework from the former Mutin organ. The chosen tonal design is Rhenish Romantic in style, strongly inspired by the organ built in Stavelot (Belgium) in 1841 by the firm of Willem Korfmacher. composition Source: Orgue en France
