Aigues-Vives
The Church of Saint-Pierre in Aigues-Vives
A modest building, in light stone, reflecting a certain rural classicism
A new neo-Gothic breath since 1855
The old Saint-Pierre church, built in 1686-87 to the west of the village, was ceded to the Protestants during the Revolution, in accordance with the Concordat and the strong local Protestant presence.
The Catholics, deprived of a place of worship, appealed to local generosity and the support of the bishopric of Nîmes to rebuild their church. The new Saint-Pierre church, in neo-Gothic style , was erected in 1855 in the Cantonnat district.
