The facade of the massive building, rectangular in plan, consists simply of a gable with a projection in the middle of which is inserted a clock, the whole surmounted by a bell tower-wall
The entrance door has a more elaborate architectural treatment, inspired by the Tuscan order, framed by two columns and topped by a pediment. The inscription "Eglise réformée de France" appears on the entablature
