EN: The church was built in 1680 by Jacques Tarade. Originally it was the church of the Vauban fortification of Huningue and it remains the last completely intact piece of the fort.
The church was consecrated to Saint Louis IX and became the parish church of Huningue after the destruction of the fort. When the new church was built in 1934 it was abandoned. In 1944 it was damaged by bombs. From 1971 to 1975 it was restorated and is used for concerts and exhibitions today.
