Saint-Etienne Church, Lille
Lille, FR
The present church is built on the site of the first Jesuit chapel built in 1610 and destroyed in 1740 in a fire. In 1743, the architect Dominique Delesalle drew up the plans for the new church and the foundation stone was laid under the direction of the architect François Joseph Gombert, who had already worked on the church of the Convent of the Discalced Carmelites in Lille.
