The Cazernère in Pont-Saint-Esprit, also known as the Caserne des Troupes du Roy, is a historic building with a military past. Inaugurated in 1719, it served various military units, including dragoon and infantry regiments, and later the gendarmerie, for over two centuries.
In the 20th century, after extensive renovation, the Cazernère became the town's administrative center and now houses cultural and social institutions. The large arched gateway at the front is a striking feature of the building.
