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 Source

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.
