The present building was erected on the remains of a 4th century Palaeochristian funerary church and the foundations of a 10th century Romanesque church. In Gothic style, the church of Saint-Gervais, of the same name as the district surrounding it, was erected in the middle of the 15th century in what was then a town in the medieval old town on the right bank. Several restorations brought back to light frescoes and paintings that can be admired today, as well as the magnificent carved wooden stalls in flamboyant gothic style and beautiful stained glass windows.

Cette église a été restaurée avec goût, ce qui est loin d'être la règle dans un pays où l'obsession du " propre en ordre " amène à des fautes de goût dans les restaurations, notamment en ce qui concerne les enduits et les joints. Mais ici l'appareillage, en pierre ou en brique selon les endroits, a été fort bien rénové. ?A mon avis, c'est l'édifice religieux ancien le plus intéressant de la ville après la cathédrale.
