The current church was built from 1863 to 1868, according to the plans and under the direction of the architect Théodore Ballu, shortly after the drilling of the "Boulevard du Prince-Eugène" (former name of the "Boulevard Voltaire. It replaced a first church built in the early nineteenth century. His style is a mixture of neo-Gothic, neo-Romanesque and neo-Byzantine, very popular at that time, especially in the French capital.

The Great Organ was built by the Merklin-Schutze workshops in 1869. The archives report that the buffet was laid later after the inauguration of the instrumental part (probably in 1870). The instrument then underwent the interventions of Mutin, Gutschenritter, Picaud and Cicchero. Apart from two stops of the Positive, the instrument is entirely authentic.
