Building consecrated in 1839, then enlarged in 1865. The German army damaged the church in the 1940s. It also underwent modifications in the 2000s, following an urban rehabilitation plan.
Church of centered plan finished by a chevet with apses. The main façade is concave in shape, alternating between openings, wooden slats and columns.
The church underwent two phases of destruction, the first in 1563, when Le Havre was taken over by the English. The second in 1856 when it was considered too small to accommodate the faithful. A new church was rebuilt the same year a few meters further on.
A convent was established in 1661, and a convent was added in 1666. The church became a parish church in 1822. The bombings of 1944 affected the church, which only retains its bell tower. A desire to rebuild the church emerged in 1954, but it was not opened until 1964, and work only really began in 1960.
Church opened for worship and consecrated in 1887. Pilgrimages took place between 1899 and 1968, after which they ceased completely. In 1913, the church is affiliated to the Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre. The building was damaged in 1944, its organ was set on fire and a shell burst on the bell tower.
