The Saint-Pierre chapel, known as Viviers, is a Romanesque chapel located in the hamlet of Saint-Pierre in Pierrerue in the French department of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.
Description
Tombs from the 6th and 8th centuries have been excavated all around.
The first known building on this site was a priory built during the second half of the 11th century and dependent on the Ganagobie Abbey, but the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs (DRAC) dates the current Saint-Pierre chapel from the 12th and 13th centuries.
The church of Saint-Pierre, known as Saint-Pierre de Viviers, was given by Bishop Ours to the priory of Ganagobie in 967. It was then probably usurped by knights, since Tassilo, who held it by inheritance, gave it to the abbey of Cluny in 1019. It was then in the possession of the chapter of Forcalquier (early 1th century), then of the bishop of Sisteron (mid-century) before returning to Ganagobie in the XNUMXth centuryXNUMX.
The chapel was registered as a historical monument by decree of July 11, 1984, when it was in ruins, but it has since been restored.
