Chapelle Saint-Quenin

Avenue Saint-Quenin, 84110 Vaison-la-Romaine, France

Vaucluse

Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

The chapel, dedicated to Saint Quenin, bishop of Vaison in the 6th century and patron of the city, is a Romanesque building, built in the second half of the 12th century. The nave was rebuilt between 1630 and 1636, thanks to the bishop, Monsignor de Suarès. The originality of this chapel lies in its apse: triangular shape, superb wall unit, fine decoration. It is succeeded by a solid barlong plan forming the crossing of the transept, with, in the upper register, three fluted pilasters with Corinthian capitals supporting an architrave, a checkered frieze and an antique cornice. On the western facade rebuilt in the 17th century, one can admire a bas-relief depicting a vase on its feet from which two branches of vine with clusters and leaves escape, all topped by a gemmed Latin cross. This pattern represents today the weapons of Vaison.
