The Franciscans from Metz, who were expelled from Sélestat during the Revolution, received permission from the Bishop of Strasbourg to resettle in the city shortly after the First World War in 1919.
They initially lived in a house dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua on Rue de Scherwiller. As it quickly became too small, they wanted to expand their monastery and also build a church, so they settled in Saint-Antoine. The neo-Gothic church was built by the architect Adolphe Molz, using pink sandstone for the façade stones rather than concrete, as originally planned, and was completed in 1931.
