from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Trinité

The parish church La Trinité (German: Dreifaltigkeitskirche ) is in the 9th arrondissement of Paris on the Place d'Estienne d'Orves , at the beginning of the Rue Blanche , in the extension of the Rue Saint-Lazare and the Rue de la Chaussée d'Antin . (The latter was laid out so that one has a view from the church to the Opéra Garnier ). The adjacent station on Métrolinie 12 was named after the church.

history

Before the church was built, a famous cabaret called La Grande Pinte stood in its place . After its closure, construction work began in 1861. The architect of of Baron Haussmann commissioned construction was Théodore Ballu called to the church in the style of the French Renaissance built. Although the interior of the church was very luxurious, it only took about six years to complete. The costs at that time amounted to almost four million francs . The completion was in 1867. In the same year the church was consecrated. On March 11, 1869 , the funeral service for Hector Berlioz was held here. In 1986 , Trinité became the first parish in France to be entrusted to the Emmanuel Community by Jean-Marie Lustiger, then Archbishop of Paris , in order to enliven the pastoral service together. The bishops Dominique Rey and Jacques Benoit-Gonnin were both pastors of Sainte-Trinité before their appointment.

organ

View of the main organ

The main organ of the church goes back to Aristide Cavaillé-Coll and was built between 1868 and 1871. In 1901 changes were made (especially in the area of ​​intonation) by the Merklin company, and in 1934 more by the Pleyel-Cavaillé-Coll company, which also included the installation of additional registers . 1962–1965 the action was electrified, the wind chests changed, the console replaced and 7 new registers installed. This work was carried out by Beuchet-Debierre (Nantes). After an overhaul in 1979 (Jacques Picaud, Olivier Glandaz), changes were made posthumously in 1993 by Olivier Messiaen shortly before his death, which in turn were carried out by Olivier Glandaz. The instrument originally (1871) had 46 registers and since then has 61 registers and 82 rows of pipes on three manuals and a pedal with electric playing and stop action .
