history
Ners was first mentioned in 1211. The place developed on a hill around the castle and the church of St-Sauveur ( Savior ). During the Camisard Wars , the church was set on fire between 1702 and 1705 and subsequently restored. The church is a Romanesque building probably from the 13th century . It has a single nave nave with a retracted choir, which closes in the east with a semicircular apse. The church corresponds to the typical Romanesque country churches in Languedoc .
Even after the wars of religion, the proportion of Protestants in the population remained high in the region and in the town itself. After the French Revolution, the church building was transferred to the Reformed on March 29, 1803 by decree .
