The Saint-Rémi chapel is one of the only remains of the former Hôtel des Mousquetaires noirs, built in 1699-1701 by R. de Cotte on the plans of J. Hardouin-Mansart, and disused and sold in 1775. Cardinal Louis de Rohan bought it in 1780 as an administrator, to transfer the institution of the Blind of the Quinze-Vingts, founded rue Saint-Honoré by Saint Louis between 1254 and 1261.The Saint-Rémi chapel, which took over the name of the church on Rue Saint-Honoré, was enlarged in 1789 by three bays and a tribune, to accommodate some of the furniture from the former chapel on Rue Saint-Honoré. Looted and closed between 1793 and 1800, it was then rented to the City of Paris throughout the nineteenth century to house the parish of Saint-Antoine, branch of the church of Sainte-Marguerite while serving as a chapel for the hospice.During the reconstruction of the entire hospital between 1956 and 1966, the nave of the chapel was demolished and then rebuilt.
