$The church stands on the site of a Byzantine predecessor church, which Aelia Eudocia had built in honor of Mary. This church was destroyed by the Persians in 614, but was soon rebuilt. Like other Christian sites in Jerusalem, the Fatimid Caliph al-Hakim had this church destroyed in 1009.\n\nThe building that can still be seen today was built by Avda, the widow of Balduin I, in 1142 because it was believed to be the home of Joachim and Anna, the parents of Mary, next to the Bethesda pond. After the conquest of Jerusalem by Sultan Saladin, the church became a Koranic school in 1192. In 1856, Sultan Abdülmecid handed the building over to Napoleon III as thanks for his support of the Ottoman Empire in the Crimean War. At the time, however, the building was in a deplorable state. The Turks believed that the place was haunted and the Turkish governor had used the church as a stable. The garbage that had accumulated inside almost reached the roof. If you take a closer look at the façade of the church, you will notice that the walls are slightly inclined - an indication of the inadequate weight of the vaults derived from the buttresses. The French government commissioned the architects Honoré Daumet and Christophe Édouard Mauss (1829-1914) with the restoration.$
