The Église reformée de Nice, also known as the Saint-Esprit temple, is a Protestant Reformed place of worship located at 21 boulevard Victor-Hugo in Nice. Formerly the American Episcopal Holy Spirit Church, it is attached to the United Protestant Church of France. The building has been listed as a historical monument since 2020.

According to its history, the American Episcopal community of Nice began fundraising at the end of the 19th century to build an Episcopal place of worship. The church was constructed in 1886, with W.G. Haberson identified as the architect. It was inaugurated in 1888 under the name “of the Holy Spirit.” The community remained there for about seventy years, while associated with the Reformed Church of France. In the 1970s, the Presbytery Council of the Reformed Church of Nice decided to purchase the church. The Episcopal Church of the United States later vacated the building following a decline in its congregation, partly linked to the departure of the American fleet in 1966.

From Episcopal Origins to Reformed Ownership

By the end of the 19th century, the American Episcopal community of Nice began fundraising for an Episcopal place of worship. The church was constructed in 1886 to a design by W.G. Haberson and was inaugurated in 1888 under the name Church of the Holy Spirit. Located on boulevard Victor-Hugo, near the presbytery, it served the community for about seventy years and was associated with the Reformed Church of France. The Episcopal Church of the United States later vacated the building after its congregation declined, partly following the departure of the American fleet in 1966. In the 1970s, the Presbytery Council of the Reformed Church of Nice decided to purchase the Church of the Holy Spirit.
