Sainte-Agathe Chapel

The Chapelle Sainte-Agathe is a chapel located in Saint-Maime. It was erected in the 12th century along with the Château de Saint-Maime tower. Apart from the remains of a few castle walls, these are the only remains of the castle that was once inhabited by Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Provence and his wife Beatrice of Savoy.

Inside the chapel, frescoes of the 12 apostles are barely visible. The adjacent tower is the only octagonal tower in Provence. The tower has recently undergone an extensive renovation with support from the French Fondation du Patrimoine.

The chapel offers panoramic views of the Luberon valley including the villages of Dauphin and Mane.
