At the site of the present temple is a place steeped in religious history. Until 1880 there was a charming chapel built under Louis XV according to the drawings of Charles de Wailly, with a specific aim: serve as a altar in the Holy Sacrament during the long royal processions of the Feast-Dieu, that the king and the courtyard followed from the church Notre-Dame to the castle. The French Revolution désacralisa the chapel that was sold as a national property: it belonged to the beginnings of the Republic, the popular assemblies, before becoming a forage store. It was the English Protestant community, important since the Restoration, which gave its sacred at the chapel in 1821: she would have permission to celebrate her worship. In 1880, the former chapel threatened to collapse and became a danger to the faithful. At the time, works began, during which the cult was transferred to the castle in the Royal residences room. The Protestant temple was swallowed in 2010 and offers to the hiker a beautiful Gothic facade - in its interior it is pure huguenot style naked. The temple is an important step in the history and religious buildings of Versailles.
