History : this church was built in 1884 by the Protestant architect Gaspard André (1840-1896), because the church of Change became insufficient and it was necessary to take account of the territorial extension of the city on the left bank of the Rhone. It was dedicated on May 1, 1884. In addition to the room of worship offering nearly 1.000 places, the building contains the secretariat of the Reformed Church of Lyon, the presbytery and various conference rooms located on 6 cours de la Liberté. Its frontage is registered in the inventory of the historic buildings.
