Old Franciscan church whose nave was built in 1292\. The town became the owner of the church in 1543\. The Lutheran Reformation was introduced in Colmar in 1575 and the city made this church available to Protestants: the first worship was celebrated on May 15 by pastor Jean Cellarius.
In 1627, Lutheran worship was forbidden and the Jesuits seized this church, but in 1632 Gustave Horn, general of the king of Sweden, seized Colmar and re-established Protestant worship there. The Jesuits are being hunted.
In 1715, the choir was assigned to Catholic worship by order of the king of France and the arch between the nave and the choir was walled.
In 1937, the choir was returned to the Protestants, but the separation wall was not destroyed until 50 years later, in 1987.
From 1991 to 1997, the nave was under restoration.
