The Saint-Jean-Baptiste church in Belleville is one of
the first churches of neo-Gothic architecture built in
Paris. It was built between 1854 and 1859. The
building consists of a nave of five spans with two
collateral spans and eight side chapels, a transept, a
choir with a span in the extension of the nave, an
ambulatory giving access to seven chapels, two
sacristies and two bell towers topped with arrows.
Because it is his last construction site, the Church of
St. John the Baptist in Belleville is the most
accomplished work of Jean-Baptiste-Antoine Lassus
(1807-1857), one of the first architects of the Gothic
style in the mid-19th century in France. In Belleville,
Lassus determined the structure, fixed the
iconographic program and designed the church
furniture; the sculpted decoration is the work of
Aimé-Napoleon Perrey and the glass windows were
created by Auguste de Martel, based on boxes by
Louis Steinheil

The great organ was built in 1861 by Aristide Cavaillé-
Coll. In 1960, Edmond-Alexandre Roethinger restored
the wind tunnel and placed a new console there.
In 1975, Swidersky began a series of unfinished works,
aimed at re-harmonizing the entire instrument.
In 1978, Jacques Picaud carried out work on behalf of
Maison Beuchet-Debierre and some additions were
made (laying a new Cymbal III in the Swell,
complementing the scope of the Quintaton 16' of the
GO). Mai tenance works were done by Jean-Marc
Cicchero in 1988 and 2003 by Dargassies.
2022-2024: partial overhaul.
The Choir Organ was built by Antoine-Louis Suret in
1859. It was inaugurated at the same time as the
building, on August 11, 1859. In the sixties, some stops
have been incorporated into the composition of the
great organ.
