About this building

The first wooden church was built in the 14th century, but it burnt down in 1407 and was replaced by a Gothic brick church that remained until 1689. The present church was consecrated in 1703, its baroque style was proposed by the architect Tylman de Gameren who referred to the plan of the Roman church of San Carlo ai Catinari, which was also an inspiration for the university church of the Sorbonne in Paris.

The window right above the entrance is known as a “papal window” due to the fact that John Paul II used to show up there and speak when spontaneous crowds gathered in front of it.
