Église Saint-Nicolas de Pertuis, 15th-century Gothic church in Pertuis, France.

The Église Saint-Nicolas de Pertuis is a Flamboyant Gothic church founded in 1398. Its light beige ashlar facade has a gabled top crowned by a stone cross, a niche with a dark crucifix, and a white stone portal with four columns inscribed LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE. A tall pointed window with tracery stands to the right of the entrance.

Construction began in 1398 and stretched across four centuries, interrupted by earthquakes and the Wars of Provence. These disruptions caused long pauses in building work, during which the design evolved in response to changing needs.

The organ was built by Pierre Marchand in 1601 and 1602, with 14 stops and seven pedals, at a cost of 1,800 livres; it was restored by Sieur Duges in 1774-1775 and rebuilt in 1825 by Charles Gazeau and Jean-François Borme. The baptismal font of Saint-Pierre was moved here in March 1482. Count Victor Riqueti de Mirabeau, father of the revolutionary orator, was baptised in the church in 1715.

The church sits on Place Mirabeau in the town center and is easy to reach on foot. Restoration work is currently underway, including masonry repairs and humidity treatment, so parts of the building may be inaccessible during your visit.
