Maison de santé protestante de Nîmes, Medical and heritage center in rue de Sauve, Nîmes, France
The Maison de Santé Protestante de Nîmes is a historic monument combining residential and medical facilities on Rue de Sauve. The facade features a carved female head above the main entrance and symmetrical window openings along its length.
This Protestant health institution was founded in 1842 to provide free medical care to local Protestant church members. It gained recognition as a public utility in 1872.
The architecture merges Louis XV style with traditional Nîmes design elements, featuring a central projection crowned with volutes on the garden-facing side.
The facility now operates as three separate nursing homes across different locations in Nîmes providing medical and residential services. Visitors should verify which location they wish to visit beforehand, as the original building is now one of several sites.
The grand staircase preserves its open cage structure and simple grid pattern, featuring the original design from when the building opened. Several 18th-century interior doors remain in place, offering glimpses into the building's original interior arrangement.
