The church named after a Catholic Bishop Saint Louis of Toulouse. who was once a cadet of the Royal French House of Anjou..
The first incarnation of the lime and cement cathedral was constructed in 1593. A reconstruction was made between 1630 and 1640 but was met with tragedy in 1733 when fire razed its lofty halls. The church was brought up from the ground five years later. The ravages of Second World War partly damaged the structure in 1945 and its final restoration took place in 1966 with the aid of the National Historical Commission.
In July 2014 Typhoon Glenda destroyed the roof over the altar, causing flooding inside the church but through the help of the people of Lucban, they fixed the said problem. In 2018, the conservation and restoration of San Luis Obispo de Tolosa Parish Church Complex are now ongoing through the help of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines.
