Il Redentore was built as a votive church in thanksgiving for deliverance from a major outbreak of the plague that decimated Venice between 1575 and 1576, in which some 46,000 people (25–30% of the population) died.

The facade was simplified by the architect Jappelli, who declined to add two bell-towers. The new church was consecrated in 1884. Stained glass windows were added in 1922. The organ dates 1926. Some describe the interior as resembling Palladio's Venetian church of Il Redentore.
