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 had a Mutin organ (1914) with two keyboards. Due to the poor condition of this instrument, it was decided to build a new organ. The project presented jointly by the Belgian organ manufacturer Thomas and the French manufacturer Béthines-les-Orgues was selected. The aesthetic chosen for the instrument was romantic Rhineland. It is strongly inspired by that of the organ built in Stavelot (Belgium) in 1841 by Willem Korfmacher. Some of the piping of the previous instrument (in particular the Swell) could be reused. The main features of the instrument are: • 3 manual keyboards, including one expressive swell • 29 real stops • Presence of a combinator • Couples in 16, 8 and 4. Source: Orgue en France
