CHAPELLE SAINT VINCENT
Montée de la Chapelle 69440 Saint Laurent d'Agny
- Rhône
- Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
Located 480 m above sea level, the small Romanesque chapel that stands on a promontory at the foot of the Monts du Lyonnais was part of a hamlet successively called Dagniacus, Dagninus, then Dagnins. This chapel, built on an ancient Celtic place of worship as evidenced by the 'raised stones' to the west and the 'cupulae stones' to the south, was dedicated to Saint Vincent, patron saint of winegrowers, because the hill on which it stands was once covered with vineyards. Listed in the inventory of historical monuments on June 7, 1926, it is classified Historical Monument on August 17, 1945, then restored in 1956\. Since 1 June 1991, it has been part of the Romanesque church circuit.
