The church of Val-de-Grâce in Paris was designed by François Mansart and Jacques Lemercier. Queen Anne of Austria ordered it to thank the Virgin Mary after the birth of Louis XIV. The cornerstone was laid on April 1, 1645, and construction was completed in 1667. The infobox's 1796 date marks the founding of the military hospital, not the construction.
The article calls the style Baroque and names no materials or dimensions. Benedictine nuns cared for wounded revolutionaries, which spared the church from Revolution-era vandalism, and the buildings then became a military hospital.
A replacement hospital was completed in 1979, and the hospital closed in 2016. The site now has offices and teaching for the army health service school, and the old abbey houses a museum of French army medicine. Tours are escorted and cost a small fee, and cameras are allowed only inside the church. The article gives no hours.
