Rue Buffault Synagogue

The church was built as part of a competition organised by the Bishopric of Paris in 1823, with the agreement of the City of Paris. It was won by Hippolyte Lebas. The work took place from 1824 to 1836. The church was consecrated on December 15, 1836 by Monsignor de Quélen. The area known as the Porcherons had begun to be populated at the end of the Ancien Régime. It was then attached to the parish of Saint-Pierre-de-Montmartre. Notre-Dame-de-Lorette is one of the 39 parishes that were instituted by Bishop de Belloy in 1802, but the faithful had to be content with a temporary church until 1823 before the construction of the present building.

The Great Synagogue of Paris was built in 1867-1874 in a neo-Byzantine style. After the war, the synagogue undertook renovations completed in 1967. This synagogue has been classified as a historical monument since 1987.

The first stone was laid in 1824. The realization was entrusted to Jean-Baptiste Lepère and taken over in 1831 by his genus Jean-Ignace Hittorf. The work was slowed down by the Revolution of 1830 but the church was finally consecrated in 1844. The Chapel of the Virgin Mary was built between 1869 and 1870. It was Napoleon III who offered the sculpture of the Virgin Mary made by Carrier-Belleuse.
