In 1823 Father Nicolas Guiller and Baron {{ILL|Pierre Bernard Milius|fr}}, administrator of [[French Guiana]], decided to replace the old church of Saint Nicolas on the current {{ILL|Place Léopold-Héder|fr}}. Work began in 1825 and ended in 1833. The church was inaugurated in 1861 and is  registered as a French [[monument historique]].<ref>[http://www.cg973.fr/Cathedrale-Saint-Sauveur Cathédrale Saint-Sauveur de Cayenne] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131101191305/http://www.cg973.fr/Cathedrale-Saint-Sauveur |date=1 November 2013 }}.</ref>

The high altar, the pulpit, and the confessional of the penitentiary  chapel on the [[Îlet la Mère]] were  transferred to the cathedral in 1876.

In 1933, the church was declared a cathedral. It was consecrated in November 1934 by monseigneur {{ILL|Pierre Gourtay|fr}}, the first bishop of Guyana. In 1952, construction workers discovered a lead case containing 21 coins, the oldest of which dated to the [[Napoleon]]ic period, and 20 seals from the reign of [[Charles X of France|Charles X]].

Between 1952 and 1954, the ceiling, the windows, and the floors of the tribunal were replaced. The bell tower was renovated in 2000–01.<ref name="pop">{{Base Mérimée|IA97300281|Cathédrale Saint-Sauveur}}</ref>
