The Saint-Jacques-Saint-Christophe de la Villette church was built between 1841 and 1844 on top of an old 14th-century church. The considerable increase in population in the 19th century, following, in particular, the construction of the Ourcq canal, justified the construction of a new church and a royal order of 17 November 1837 authorised the commune to acquire land for this purpose. The architect of the church was Paul-Eugène Lequeux (1806-1873), architect of the neighbouring district of Saint-Denis and designer of several churches, including Notre-Dame-de-Clignancourt in the 18th arrondissement of Paris.

The church was built during the Restoration in the style of Roman basilicas. On its site stood a convent built for the Benedictines of the Blessed Sacrament. It was Etienne-Hippolyte Godde who in 1826 was commissioned by the city of Paris to build the current church on this site. The first stone was laid on 15 September 1826: a medal by the engraver Ursin Vatinelle, bearing the effigy of Charles X and the design of the projected façade, commemorates the event.
