The first Capuchins arrived in Constantinople in 1626 and settled on the grounds of the French embassy in 1628. In 1660, a real church was built, which was gradually transformed. This church was consecrated on August 25, 1673.  In 1685, \"ambassadors, clergy and other distinguished persons\" were allowed to be buried here.<\/p><p>The church finally became a parish church at the beginning of the 18th century. It was rebuilt twice in this century, first by the French Ambassador Count des Alleurs (1747-1754) and then in stone in 1788 by Father Godfrey of Amiens, later Archbishop of Naxos.<\/p><p>The church was again destroyed in the great Pera (Beyo\u011flu) fire of 1831. After the fire, the reconstruction of the church took several years. It was finally completed in 1846, parallel to the reconstruction of the Palais de France.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column

The architect was Pierre Laur\u00e9cisque (1797-1848), who lived for a long time in Istanbul and is buried in the P\u00e8re Lachaise cemetery. Two grave markers in the church commemorate the death of his wife and son in Istanbul in 1847.<\/p><p>The church was consecrated on May 1, 1847 by Father Mauro de Leonessa, Apostolic Prefect, in the presence of Ambassador Fran\u00e7ois-Adolphe de Bourqueney (1841-1848).  In 1914 the church was confiscated and the clock and bell were removed. However, the church was restored in 1919 and gradually restored until 1923 (as evidenced by the inscription on the chancel frieze).<\/p><p>Access to the two main facades of the church is restricted: the chancel faces the gardens of the Palais de France and the bell tower is on the side of the courtyard of the Lyc\u00e9e Pierre Loti, located in the adjacent convent.<\/p><p>The church clock was restored in 2009.<\/p><p>Saint Louis today<\/p><p>St. Louis remains today, as it has been for almost three centuries, the church of the French community in Istanbul.

After a period of transition, in 2003 the church was entrusted to the Franciscan Friars Minor, who replaced the Capuchin brothers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-78f97f6a scheme_default elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"78f97f6a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-64740ebd sc_inner_width_none sc_content_align_inherit sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"64740ebd\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-76b7f076 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"76b7f076\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-4c32c389 sc_inner_width_none sc_content_align_inherit sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"4c32c389\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34c9685d sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-trx_sc_icons\" data-id=\"34c9685d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"trx_sc_icons.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div \tclass=\"sc_icons sc_icons_extra sc_icons_size_large sc_align_center\" ><div class=\"sc_icons_columns_wrap sc_item_columns trx_addons_columns_wrap columns_padding_bottom columns_in_single_row\" ><div class=\"trx_addons_column-1_3\"><div class=\"sc_icons_item sc_icons_item_linked with_more\"><div class=\"sc_icons_icon sc_icon_type_ icon-map\" style=\"color: #F2E8E6\" ><span class=\"sc_icon_type_ icon-map\" style=\"color: #F2E8E6\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"sc_icons_item_details\"><h4 class=\"sc_icons_item_title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/eZ4FZ67F62MiPaPD6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                                    Address                                    <\/a><\/h4><div class=\"sc_icons_item_description\"><span>Nuru Ziya Sok.
