Saint Vincent Church (Eglise Saint-Vincent) was built between the 12th and 15th centuries in Romanesque style. She is a kind of custodian of ancient traditions born during the reign of the Bo family. One of them is the lighting of the “lantern of death” on the church bell tower. That was the name of the little light that burned all night when one of the noble inhabitants of Le Baux died.
The contemporary stained glass windows of the church were donated in 1960 by Rainier III, Prince of Monaco. Also pay attention to the cenotaph - this is a monument that does not contain a body. It is dedicated to the Manville family, who, back in 1540, financed the construction of one of the chapels.
Address: Place Saint-Vincent. Free admission.
