Sainte Marguerite was built in 1624-1634 as a
chapel l dedicated to Margaret of Antioch. After
been branch Church of the St. Paul Church, the
chapel became a parish church in 1712. The
nave and the aisles were built in 1679. In 1703
the chapel of the north transept was built, called
Chapelle Saint-Joseph-Sainte-Marguerite. The
south transept was enlarged with the chapel of
the Virgin in 1724. Between 1760 and 1764, the
architect Victor Louis built the Chapelle des
Âmes-du-Purgatoire in the neoclassical style; the
painter Paolo-Antonio Brunetti (1723-1783)
made the beautiful ‘trompe l'oeil’ decoration.
The main organ is built by the Stoltz brothers in 1873
and is entirely authentic.
In contrast, the choir organ, originally built by the Stoltz
brothers too, has been severly modified towards a
neobaroque style by Haerpfer-Erman in 1970, including
the organ case and console.
