Did the year 1795 hold a secret burial at Église Sainte-Marguerite-Marie? This church, nestled in the heart of Paris, has witnessed centuries of history. Église Sainte-Marguerite-Marie was founded in 1625. It became a parish church in 1712. The church we see today, with its blend of architectural styles, is a testament to this long and storied past. During the tumultuous French Revolution, while many churches faced closure or destruction, Église Sainte-Marguerite-Marie remained open. It even became a temporary resting place for victims of the revolution’s darkest chapter: the Reign of Terror. Hundreds of souls, guillotined at the Place de la Bastille and Place de la Nation, were laid to rest in the church’s cemetery. One burial, however, has been shrouded in mystery and debate. Legend has it that Louis XVII, the young son of Louis XVI, was secretly buried here after his death in the Temple Prison. While exhumations have cast doubt on this claim, the mystery surrounding Louis XVII’s final resting place continues to intrigue historians and visitors to Église Sainte-Marguerite-Marie. The church stands as a symbol of resilience and a silent witness to the ebb and flow of Parisian life.
