The baroque church was built in the mid-18th century, and is listed as a French monument historique.

Commissioned by Bishop Bonaventure Baüyn, the Bishop of Uzès,[2] the Church of Saint-Étienne was built to replace a previous church at the same site that had been destroyed by the Protestants during the Wars of Religion and used as a store and arsenal.

[1] The only element that remains of the original church is the bell tower, which dates to the 13th century and was spared to be used as a defensive watchtower.

Construction on the baroque building occurred between 1764 and 1774, according to the designed by Pierre Bondon, an architect from Avignon.
