About
In the 13th century, the Saint-Vincent church was a castral chapel built on the south side of the castle, which has now disappeared. In the 17th century, the church was vaulted and windows were built to light the nave. The church officially became a parish church in 1802 even though it had already been officiated for a long time.

The church of Saint-Vincent has undergone many transformations over the centuries. In the 13th century, it was a castral chapel built on the south side of the castle, which has now disappeared. In the XVIIth century, the church was vaulted and windows were built to light the nave
The church officially became a parish church in 1802 (in place of the Romanesque church of Saint-Jean located 1km south of Serverette) even though it had already been used for a long time. After a fire in 1833, it was decided seven years later to enlarge the church by one bay to the west. A new facade with a combed bell tower was built. The vault was redone and raised between 1930 and 1931
The church shelters a black virgin still very venerated today (one of the four in Lozere), proof of a particularly important religious influence. The wooden liturgical furniture is also remarkable. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
