Chapelle Saint-Michel

It dates from the 12th century and meets the characteristics of rural Romanesque chapels of Provence. The windows and front door were the South because of the violent mistral existing windows are not the original that had to be very close and the old front door can still be seen outside the Chapel, on the south wall. Coverage of the chapel was entirely made up of lauzes, the roof has been redone in the 17th century. It is built in Orgon superbly cut stone: these stones were thrusted on the Durance, and then sent to the Chapel by the path of the Devens. It served as the parish church until the 13th century when the Church current, much larger, located at the foot of the castle was built: the village moved so a few hundreds of meters.The fresco behind the altar of the chapel represents the Holy Trinity with the specific insignia of the Carthusians.Jean Girard, grandson of the last prior of the brotherhood, launched a call in 1974 to the penny: this appeal was heard and the chapel was completely restored.
