A Bit of History
Started in 1764 during the reign of Louis XV,
and designed by Constant d'Ivry using plans based on the St-Louis-des-Invalide Church, it
was razed by a second architect to who favored a design modeled after
the Panthéon.
However this second design was not well accepted either, and all work ceased
between 1790 and 1806.
Napoléon then decided that a Temple of Glory to his Grande Armée
should be built, and Pierre-Alexandre Vignon was commissioned to draw up the plans.
After razing the remaining efforts from 1790, building started on what
was to be a Greek temple.
The commemorative role of the edifice was lost when the
Arc de Triomphe
was completed in 1808, and again the focus of the structure became
ambiguous.
In 1814, Louis XVIII confirmed that the Madeleine should be a church,
but in 1837 it was nearly selected to be the first railway station of Paris.
Finally in 1842 it was consecrated as a church.
Notes
Having recently undergone a major restoration, concerts are held
here several times a week - usually in the evening.
During the academic year, there are free Sunday afternoon concerts.
La Madeleine also remains a place of worship.
