The history of the church is like that of many in Paris. One thing special about St. Germain however, is that it was the church of the Louvre where the kings of France came in the 16th and 17th centuries. Originally a Merovegian sanctuary, the church was enlarged or reconstructed many times: the Romanesque tower remains from the 12th century, the door and the choir date from the 13th century. The enlargements of the church continued until the 16th century, when the Valois kings were in the Louvre. The church was the Royal parish and the kings came here for mass. Painters, gold and silver smiths, engravers, poets as wells as the architects Le Vau, Gabriel and Soufflot, artists who lived at the Louvre, are buried here. The 18th century was not very kind to Saint-German and many other churches. The entrance was enlarged to allow for the passage of processions, the colored stained glass was replaced by clear glass, the choir-wall was torn down because it was thought to be too Gothic for an age that was passionately interested in Antic revival. The church was closed during the French Revolution and became a store for animal fodder and later a printer's shop. It was restored in the 1840's and 1850's under the direction of Lassus and Baltard.
