Édouard Corroyer

Édouard-Jules Corroyer (14 September 1835, Amiens – 30 January 1904, Paris) was a French architect and restorer.

In the 1860s, he designed the City Hall in Roanne, a church in Vougy, and the Château de Fleyriat [fr] in Ain.

Later, he developed an interest in Medieval architecture, and was an active participant in the restoration of Soissons Cathedral.

From 1878 to 1882, he was also involved in supervising construction at the headquarters of the Comptoir d'Escompte de Paris; work which earned him the title of Knight in the Legion of Honor.

In 1886, following the departure of Honoré Daumet, he was a competitor for completing construction of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica, but was not chosen.
