Париз, Франција
It was started in 1764 during the reign of Louis XV following the example of the church of St. Louis of the Invalides, its construction was completely stopped between 1790 and 1806. Then Napoleon decided to turn it into a Temple of the Glory of his Grand Army and ordered Pierre Vignon to make the construction look like a Greek temple. This idea was abandoned with the construction of the Arc de Triomphe and the building's purpose again became uncertain. In 1814, Louis XVIII decided that it should be used as a church, but in 1837 it almost became the first railway station of Paris. Ultimately, in 1842, the building was consecrated as a church, named after Mary Magdalene and also called Madlena for short.
