Tips
It was built under Leopold I of Lorraine from 1703 to 1742 according to the plans of Giovanni Betto, Jules Hardouin-Mansart and Germain Boffrand. For the first plans Betto was inspired by the church of Sant'Andrea della Valle in Rome.
The following architects changed these plans again. The distance between the towers and the length of the nave were laid out with respect to a central dome, which were then replaced in the course of building history by a simple dome and a gable with clock. The facade as well as the interior are Corinthian style.
