Poetic name is the Reformed Church, erected around 1713-1715 in the Baroque style. By the way, the church is in the old part of Geneva and has a common name with the square.
By this name the church owes the Huguenots expelled from France. It is believed that both externally and from the point of view of internal filling, La Fustere is very similar to the church of Charenton-le-Pont, which was located in the suburbs of Paris and was destroyed in this religious war. It is noteworthy that in Geneva the construction proceeded according to old sketches and engravings.
Architecturally the church is built in the late Baroque style, but you will not find a special chic inside, everything is modest, as the Reformed Church says. By the way, the familiar organ for many in the church in the Temple de la Fustere appeared only in the eighteenth century.
