The Église Saint‑Étienne is a late Baroque church in Uzès, southern France. It was built between 1764 and 1774 on the ruins of an earlier church destroyed during the Huguenot Wars. The original 13th-century bell tower was preserved and incorporated into the new building. The church is built in the Jesuit style, with a Greek cross floor plan, a dome, a richly decorated interior, and a curved façade with Baroque elements. It was listed as a historic monument in 1974 and extensively restored between 2009 and 2016. Today, it is a quiet, well-kept place in the center of Uzès, valued for its architecture and spiritual atmosphere. Along with the Cathedral of Saint‑Théodorit, it is one of the city's most important religious buildings.
