The Romanesque church of Vitrolles-en-Luberon was built at the foot of the medieval village, probably in 1274. It comprised a two-bay nave and a rectangular apse with barrel vaulting. Plundered by Protestants around 1570, it remained in partial ruin until 1620, without a roof or furnishings. A side chapel was added by the community in 1661-1662, and in 1682 the church was enlarged. Of the medieval building, only the choir and the west end of the nave have survived. A few items of 17th-century furniture have survived, notably the altarpieces, the altar cross and the bell. The church is closed.
