description

brief description: 

the church in Vaux dates back to the 15th and 16th centuries. It comprises a rectangular bell tower and a nave with two side aisles. The tower, which had already been built in the 13th century, was used as a dungeon. It could only be accessed through an opening on the rear flank wall at a height of 6 metres above the ground. The walls were supported by massive abutments and, at the time, the building was the central stronghold of Vaux. Originally, the bell tower was isolated from the chapel. It was only through joining the two that the church building which can be seen today came into existence
