Origin and history

The St. Lawrence church of Eygalières is a Catholic religious building located in the perched village of Eygalières, in the Bouches-du-Rhône. Mainly dating from the 12th and 17th centuries, it is one of the two churches of the municipality, the other having been built in 1905. This monument, classified as Historical Monuments by decree of 20 January 1983, is distinguished by its central location in the historical core of the village, reflecting its heritage and architectural importance.

The precise location of the church is indicated as 5100 A Street of the Old Church, in the town of Eygalières (code Insee 13034). Owned by the commune, it is mentioned in the base Mérimée under the reference Church Saint-Laurent (old), with a cadastre identified as AB 117. Although its state of openness to the public or its current uses (visits, rentals, etc.) are not specified in the sources, its classification as a Historic Monument underlines its cultural value and its anchoring in the local heritage.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its status as a protected monument and its role in the religious and architectural history of the Alpilles. The region, marked by a strong presence of medieval Christian monuments, sees in this church a testimony of stylistic and community evolutions between the Middle Ages and the modern era. No additional information on specific characters or events related to the building is mentioned in the source texts.
