Listed as a Historic Monument. When the Edict of Nantes was revoked in 1685, a decision by the Council of State gave the Protestant temple on the Place d'Armes to the Catholics, who transformed it into a church under the direction of Robert de Cotte, the brother-in-law of Mansard.
In honor of Charles-Maurice Le Tellier, Archbishop of Reims, the church is named after Charles Borromée, who participated in drafting the Council of Trent, a founding element of the Counter-Reformation.
Its austere architecture is a mixture of Protestant character and monumental expression of classical churches. Its furniture, altars in the chapels and woodwork in the choir, is remarkable. Louis XIV financed the altarpiece with Ionic columns.
The large red marble frame once housed a canvas depicting Saint Charles Borromeo rescuing the plague victims of Milan, painted by a monk from Orval Abbey.
