Church Saint-Denis of Montpellier, Historical church in Gambetta district, Montpellier, France.

The church Saint-Denis stands at the corner of Avenue Georges Clemenceau and Rue Rondelet in Montpellier. Its light beige stone facade has a central pedimented bay with four flat pilasters and a large arched wooden double door beneath a blank rectangular panel; a metal cross and small bell top it. A second square tower with an arched opening rises beside the main front.

An original church at this location was destroyed during the religious wars, and the present structure was built starting in 1699 on fresh foundations. The building underwent further refinement and was completed in 1702 in its current form influenced by Jesuit architecture.

The church is named after Saint Denis, a name it shares with the medieval predecessor built in the Montpelliéret district outside the walls. Inside, visitors can see 18th- and 19th-century canvases and statues, among them a 19th-century Sacred Heart carved in Carrara marble, and the chapel of the Pénitents Bleus in neo-Gothic style.

The location is easily accessible on foot in central Montpellier and well-connected to the main streets of the neighborhood. It is wise to check opening times before visiting since regular services are held and access may be limited during certain hours.

The organ is production number 28 of Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, built in 1837 with 29 stops on three manuals and pedal, and put into service in 1838. Its pine case has three turrets, a musician angel above the central one, and pipes arranged 3+5+7+9+7+5+3. A 1853 Ducroquet rebuild led to a lawsuit that ran until 1870.
