Facts and practical information

The Temple du Saint-Esprit is a Protestant parish, located in Besançon, Franche-Comté. The parish is a member of the United Protestant Church of France.

The building and its outbuildings were built from the 13th century onwards and were used to accommodate the sick and needy until the eve of the Revolution. They were acquired in 1842 by the local Reformed community, which reappeared in 1792 after more than two hundred years of prohibition.

The architecture and the decoration, mixing the original Gothic style with the troubadour style of the XIXth century and the neo-Romanesque style, particular in their execution and refinement, are classified as Historic Monuments since 1932. Still open for services and visits, the buildings symbolize, like the synagogue on the quai Veil-Picard, the ancient and still living presence of this religious minority.
