The temple was founded by the will of Jacques Pantaléon, son of a shoemaker from Troyes, who as Pope Urban IV decided to build a church in the hometown of his patron Saint. Urban. The construction started in the 13th century was only completed at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries (a roof and west facade were built).
