It was built from 1863, during Hausmann's redesign of the city, by Joseph Auguste Émile Vaudremer,[1] the architect charged with designing the 14e arrondissement. It occupies a triangular site bounded by the Avenue du Maine and the avenue du général-Leclerc, and its bell-tower faces the quarter's central square. It is a listed monument since 1982.[1]
