The present church of St. Anne de la Butte
aux Cailles replaces a chapel built in the
middle of the 19th century. The
construction started in 1894 and the final
façade in 1898, thanks to a donation from
the Lombart family of chocolatiers, which
earned it its nickname "chocolate façade".
The towers and bells were completed in
1900 for the 1900 World's Fair. When the
churches and the state separated in 1905,
the church became the property of the City
of Paris and was finally consecrated in
1912. The church has been listed as a
historical monument since 2018, because
of the beauty of the stained glass windows
and mosaics that came out of the
Mauméjean workshops.

The organ was built by Abbey in 1920 and
installed in a buffet designed by architect
Sandoz. The harmony was performed by
Fernand Prince. In 1951, Beuchet did some
maintenance works. Between 1960 and 1963,
Gutschenritter carried out a series of
transformations including
•
electrification of traction
•
installation of a new console
•
addition of a Plein-Jeu III and a Doublette

The organ was re-harmonized by M. Gouaut.
