Saint-André-de-Rosans - Prieuré

Saint-André-de-Rosans - Prieuré
The hamlet Saint-André-de-Rosans (pop. ~140) developed around a priory, that was founded in here 998, after the Abbey of Cluny had received a donation.

During the French Wars of Religions the priory was attacked by Huguenot troops led by Charles du Puy-Montbrun and got largely destroyed. The convent nevertheless did exist upto the French Revolution.

The former convent church, erected within the 11th and 12th century is in ruins since then, but some Romanesque carvings can still be seen.
