Built between 1713 and 1715, this Baroque-style Reformed church is a significant architectural landmark. Its design was inspired by the destroyed Huguenot church in Charenton-le-Pont and influenced Protestant church architecture throughout the region. In 2008, the building was repurposed as a cultural venue known as Espace Fusterie and has also served as emergency housing for the homeless.

The church houses a Quoirin organ used for musical instruction by students of the Geneva Conservatoire. As a Cultural Heritage Site, the building is currently undergoing restoration.
