It contains the tomb of Madeleine Sophie Barat, a French saint of the Catholic Church and founder of the Society of the Sacred Heart, a worldwide religious institute of educators. It is also known for its collection of Italian Baroque and Mannerist paintings, including a work by Tintoretto. The church was inscribed as an historic monument in 2018.
