The church was deconsecrated in 1999 and has been completely closed since March 2004. As the Church of St. Polycarp was too small, the silk workers asked the municipality for another church. It was designed in the Gothic style by Tony Desjardins, architect of the city, but was never completed: the square and the bell tower are missing. Several of its windows were made by Lucien Bégule. It was consecrated in 1866 but due to its instability, it was closed in 1891.
