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.

An 1862 architecture competition drew 42 entries, but the Montpellier architect Louis Corvetto, a jury member, built the temple, possibly unpaid. Two subscriptions in 1860 and 1867, the sale of the old temple and pledges from the city and state funded it; the cost reached nearly 350,000 F. It was inaugurated on 18 March 1870, and a bell tower added later was removed in 1885 because it threatened to collapse.

The parish belongs to the Église protestante unie de France. The name Maguelone comes from the street laid out under the Second Empire to link the station to the Place de la Comédie. A first organ was built in 1893; a new instrument was inaugurated in 2025.

The temple stands at 25 rue de Maguelone, on the axis linking the station to Place de la Comédie. The green wrought-iron fence and the plaque reading "EGLISE REFORMEE" mark the entrance; the three ground-level arches are reached from the pavement. Worship is held here under the Église protestante unie de France.

A bell tower that was not on the original plans was removed in 1885 because it threatened to collapse for lack of foundation. The first organ dates from 1893, and a new organ was inaugurated in 2025. The building was listed as a monument historique on 10 February 2003.
