The Church of Saint-Saturnin in Pont-Saint-Esprit was built in the 15th century, although its origins date back to 984. The church was damaged in 1562 and 1793, but from 1835 onward, it was restored, and the side chapels were rebuilt. The church features a remarkable Gothic portal. The church also has a tower terrace.

The Église Saint-Saturnin in Pont-Saint-Esprit is an important historical monument in southern France. It was originally founded in 984 as the Priory of Saint-Saturnin-du-Pont and later transferred to the Cluny Abbey. The current Gothic church was built between the 15th and 19th centuries and was listed as a Historic Monument in 2012.

The church is notable for its Gothic architectural style, with an impressive portal built between 1485 and 1490 and attributed to the architect Blaise Lécuyer. The interior features cross-ribbed vaults, stained glass windows, and side altars, including a chapel containing paintings by the painter Léon Alègre. The organ, built by Cavaillé-Coll in 1864, is another notable feature of the church.
