In the heart of the Marais district, in the seventeenth
century many sumptuous hotels were built including
the Hotel de Turenne, at the corner of rue Saint-Claude
and rue Neuve-Saint-Louis (now rue de Turenne). In
1684 the second monastery of the Benedictines of the
Blessed Sacrament moved into this hotel, which was
destroyed during the French Revolution. Saint Denys du
Saint Sacrement was erected on the site of the former
chapel of the convent and built by Étienne-Hippolyte
Godde in a neoclassical style between 1826 and 1835.
The main organ (1839) was one of the first built by the
Daublaine Callinet House under the artistic direction
of Félix Danjou and can be considered as a typical
‘transitional’ instrument, still classical, but with some
new features (gamba’s, dulcian, clarinet, free reeds).
The organ had originally 31 stops spread over 3
keyboards and pedal. he organ was restored several
times, in 1867 and 1883 by Cavaillé-Coll, in 1970 by
Gutschenritter, in 1984 by Jacques Barbéris and the
latest restoration was done by Dargassies in 2008.
