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.

The priory was attacked and got largely destroyed during the French Wars of Religions, but did exist upto the French Revolution. The former convent church, erected within the 11th and 12th century is in ruins since then.

Some parts of an old mosaic floor were found near the former refectory, that is meanwhile transformed into the parish church.
