    A chapel was built near a Christian cemetery outside the first city wall. The current chapel was built at the end of the 13th century when it became a parish church under the name of Notre-Dame du Bourg. It was included in the second city wall of Agen.

    In the 15th century, the initially square chevet was replaced by a polygonal apse.

    On the night of December 1, 1561, the Protestant rulers of the city looted and burned Saint-Étienne Cathedral, the Saint-Caprais collegiate church, and Notre-Dame du Bourg. A report on the condition of the churches was then drawn up by the city authorities. The church was restored and enlarged by piercing the south wall to build a side aisle. The Bishop of Agen, Jules Mascaron, made it a place of devotion, which led to its second name, Notre-Dame de Grâce. Following a decree from Napoleon I, the cemetery was abolished in 1809.

    The church was decorated with stained-glass windows created by Bordeaux master glassmaker Henri Feur in 1884.

    The building was listed as a historic monument on February 22, 1926.
