Saint-André's church
ROQUEBRUN
A bit of history
The church of Saint-André in Roquebrun, with Romanesque architecture, is primarily a castle chapel.
In the eighteenth century, following a flood, the parish church of Saint-Jean-l’Évangéliste (by the Orb) was swept away by the waters, so the castle chapel was transformed into a church.
As a result, the small Romanesque building became the transept of the current church, which is oriented towards the north; this transformation breaks the construction rules of the time which required religious buildings to be built towards the east, meaning the choir, where the altar and the priest are located, should be to the east.
The Roman bell tower wall became one of the facades of the church.
