Église de Roussillon, Parish church in Roussillon village, France

The Église de Roussillon is a parish church in the village of Roussillon in Provence. The building displays a seventeenth-century facade with architectural features typical of religious structures in this region.

The church likely replaced an earlier wooden building and was erected around the turn of the 12th century in Romanesque style as a single-nave structure with a plain barrel vault. In the 14th century the nave walls were pierced for chapels dedicated to various saints, which also braced the vault. The west facade was added in the 17th century, and in 1858 the choir collapsed and had to be rebuilt.

The sculptor Alexis Poitevin made the classical baptismal font with its canopy in 1791, and it is listed as a Monument historique. The church is dedicated to Saint Michael, who is also the patron saint of Roussillon. The nave was opened up in the 14th century by chapels vaulted in a semicircular arch, perpendicular to the nave.

The church stands in the village centre, its ochre facade set above a rough reddish-brown stone base, with stone steps and a black metal handrail descending at the right. The west facade was added in the 17th century, so the entrance front differs from the Romanesque nave behind it.

The 1791 baptismal font with its baldachin, carved by sculptor Alexis Poitevin, is listed as a Monument historique. The church is dedicated to the Archangel Michael, who is also the patron saint of Roussillon. The 14th-century side chapels were vaulted in half-arcs perpendicular to the nave and also help absorb the thrust of the barrel vault.
