Temple of Maguelone Street, Protestant church in Montpellier, France
The Temple of Maguelone Street is a Protestant church built in Romanesque Revival style with a cross-shaped layout and Neo-Roman elements. It stands directly across from Planchon Square and displays characteristic architecture from the 1800s.
Construction began in 1867 under architect Corvetto and was completed in 1870, replacing an earlier structure from Place Chabanneau. The new church emerged during a period of urban growth in Montpellier that required new religious spaces.
The interior follows Protestant principles with simple decoration and excellent acoustics that support services and community gatherings. Visitors immediately notice the openness and clarity of the space, which serves as a gathering place for the local community.
The building is located at 25 Maguelone Street and opens mainly during summer months and special occasions. Access is easy to find since the church sits directly near a well-known square and welcomes visitors during services and events.
The building received official recognition as a listed historical monument in 2003 and was entered into the registry. This designation protects its distinctive architecture and ensures preservation for the future.
