Temple built at the beginning of the century in Rouen, which is distinguished by its Renaissance bell tower.
The Temple Saint-Éloi was built at the beginning of the 16th century. The building is distinguished by its Renaissance bell tower, its gargoyles and its organ, commissioned in 1731 from Lefèbvre Père et Fils, for a sum of ten thousand pounds. Its buffet was sculpted by Gibon, Paillet and Rollet. Originally, the building was a church, and in 1803 it was attributed to the Protestants of Rouen to worship there by Napoleon Bonaparte, then First Consul. Very damaged during the bombardments of May 1944, the temple had to be restored until 1955. Today, organ concerts are very regularly organised there.

Son orgue, classé, est impressionnant et la lumière est sublime à travers les vitraux quand vient le soir.
