Prieuré de Saint-Symphorien, Romanesque priory in Luberon, France.

Saint-Symphorien Priory features a single fifteen-meter nave ending in an eastern apse, with a bell tower constructed of rubble stone and dressed stone corner chains.

Built during the 11th and 12th centuries, this priory operated under Saint-Victor Abbey of Marseille and provided both religious services and shelter for travelers.

Medieval inscriptions identify the church founders as Rostang, Teutbert, Ailald, and Pons, who established the priory between 960 and 976.

The bell tower received historical monument status in 1921, followed by the church's registration as a historical monument in 1949.

The bell tower's second floor displays twin bays separated by a small column, while the first floor features a set of three columns.
