The church was built between 1867 and 1877 according to plans by the Bordeaux architect Jean-Jules Mondet. It is dedicated to Saint Baudile, the 3rd century martyr of Nîmes. It is also the burial place of Firmin d'Uzès (516-553), who was the 4th bishop of Uzès.

The building is in neo-Gothic style. It features in particular two bell towers surmounted by tall arrows that reach 70 meters. Inside, the vaulted ceiling is 20 meters. With the shape of a Latin cross, it is the largest church in Nîmes, with a total length of 65 meters and a width of 30 meters at the level of the transept, with a capacity of 3000 people. It is also often confused with the cathedral, which is located in the center of the escutcheon. The organs are by Vincent Cavaillé-Coll and the stained glass windows are by Joseph Villiet of the Académie de Bordeaux. The two angel statues with outstretched wings are by the sculptor Léopold Morice. At the top of the facade there is a statue of Saint Baudile carrying the sword and palm of martyrdom, the work of Auguste Bosc.

The general appearance of the Saint-Baudile church is reminiscent of the Sacré-Cœur church in Bordeaux by the same architect.
