It was vacated in 1798 when the Order was expelled during the French occupation of Malta. By the 1830s, the building was used as the residence of the Chief Justice.[3] Another part was used by the Mediterranean Fleet as a bakery and a mill.[4]
It was demolished in 1839 to make way for St Paul's Pro-Cathedral.[5] Auberge d'Allemagne was the only auberge in Malta to be intentionally demolished, since the other destroyed auberges were pulled down due to damage sustained in World War II.[6] Some remains may still exist in situ.[7]
The auberge was designed by the Maltese architect Girolamo Cassar,[8] but almost nothing is known about the structure.[5]
