history

A first St-Catherine chapel was built in the 14th century by the St. Catherine's Monastery . It was re-performed in the 17th century using the Gothic rose window from the previous building in the east wall. The choir is not faces east , but aligned to the south. The interior of the chapel is richly Baroque.

After temporarily serving as the Archaeological Museum of Apt, the chapel was given to the Reformed . It forms a complex with the St-Castor Hospital, which houses a cinema.
