The first stone was laid on May 7, 1613 under Father François Aldenard. The constructor was Ulrich Job from Lucerne, Switzerland.
The church is a mentionable example of late gothic architecture but it also has Renaissance elements and adornments. In 1848, it received the name "Notre-Dame" under the apostolic vicar Jean-Théodore Laurent.
