The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifiée de 1599 à 1646 par la Compagnie de Jésus, l'église Notre-Dame, dotée d'un clocher à toiture à l'impériale, était à l'origine la chapelle du collège des Jésuites. Elle est aujourd'hui isolée, les bombardements de 1944 ayant détruit le tissu urbain environnant. En 1776, à la suppression de la Compagnie, bâtiments cédés aux Franciscains, puis transformés en hôpital à la Révolution. L'ancien collège abrite ensuite le grand séminaire de 1802 à 1909, puis est démoli en 1910. La chapelle, peut-être construite sur les plans de Martellange, devient église paroissiale au 19e siècle. Façade restaurée par l'architecte Revel en 1864, restauration des peintures par Vicario en 1844, installation d'un orgue en 1854. Décor de gypseries particulièrement riche à la croisée du transept.

Built from 1599 to 1646 by the Society of Jesus, the church of Notre-Dame, furnished with a bell tower with imperial roof, was originally the chapel of the Jesuit college. It is today isolated, the bombardments of 1944 having destroyed the surrounding urban fabric. In 1776, at the suppression of the Society, buildings transferred to the Franciscans, then transformed into a hospital at the Revolution. The former college next houses the grand seminary from 1802 to 1909, then is demolished in 1910. The chapel, perhaps built on the plans of Martellange, becomes a parish church in the 19th century. Façade restored by the architect Revel in 1864, restoration of the paintings by Vicario in 1844, installation of an organ in 1854. Decoration of particularly rich gypseries at the crossing of the transept.
