After 85 years of construction, the impressive Church of the Madeleine was completed in 1842. Napoleon 1 originally wanted to make the Madeleine a temple to the glory of his "Grande Armée", but with his fall it became once more a church. The Madeleine could also have become a stock exchange or even a railway station. It is a perfect illustration of the neoclassical architectural style.
