In 1666, Claude Chahu, lord of Passy, had the
first chapel built at his own expense, which cost
him nineteen thousand eight hundred pounds.
In 1672, after his death, his widow, Christine
de Heurles, obtained the erection in parish of
the chapel of Passy which until then
depended on Notre-Dame d'Auteuil. She gave
eight thousand pounds for the construction of
the rectory and gave the school an annuity. She
died on November 19, 1683. His portrait in a
widow's costume can be found in the sacristy
of the church. The church, first called Our Lady
of the Annunciation, became Our Lady of Grace
of Passy.
Outside, the church has a columned porch with
an eardrum decorated with a 19th century
stone bas-reliefe signed by Gumery in 1859:
The Annunciation of Gumery and above an
17th century stone statue of the Virgin and
Child.
From 1846 to 1875,the church was enlarged
by the architect Eugene Debressenne: from the
primitive church, it retained little but the pillars
of the nave. A small bell tower, built in 1846,
houses the bell that dates from 1763. From
1856 to 1859, Debressenne also built the
chapels of the Sacred Heart and the Holy
Virgin.
The instrument was built by the Merklin workshops
around 1905 and installed in a two-body buffet. In 1923,
works were done by Abbey . In 1930, the Convers-Pleyel
Society electrified the organ and changed the pitch of
the organ. Stop controls were electrified in 1963.
In 1984, the organ was partially raised by Barbéris.
In 1997 and 2005, maintenance works were done by
Dargassies.
