Grand Temple d'Anduze, Protestant meeting house in Anduze, France.
Description
The Grand Temple d'Anduze is a Protestant church building constructed in neoclassical style and completed in 1823. The structure displays a columned portico, a triangular pediment, and a bell tower that was added in 1883.
History
The present building was constructed in 1823 to replace an earlier chapel from 1602 that was demolished in 1686 by royal order during religious persecutions. This succession reflects the struggles of the Protestant community during periods of intolerance.
Culture
The temple serves as a gathering place for the Reformed Protestant community and hosts religious services and meetings. It remains a significant center for Protestant worship in the Cevennes region.
Practical
The building is clearly visible from the street and easily accessible in the town center. The interior can be viewed during regular worship services or on designated open days when guided visits are available.
