Chapelle St Jean de Crupies

Former Saint-Jean Baptiste Romanesque church dating from the 12th century, it was replaced as the Sainte Catherine parish church. It then became a Protestant temple in 1806. The church was abandoned for the new temple “du Moulin”. Located on a Gallo-roman site.

Description

Lonely, isolated on its plateau overlooking the Roubion valley, on the site of a Gallo-Roman villa, in its robe of polychrome stone, the church-temple of Saint Jean has been welcoming faithfuls, tourists, walkers and lovers of Romanesque art for over 900 years. Damaged several times, always rebuilt, it still retains the Romanesque aspect that gives it all its charm...
