    Tips

    The church of Saint-Denis in Vars, with the castle to the north, formed an episcopal complex of which the bishop was the lord. Although the church is not mentioned until 1110, the possession of this seigneury by the bishop is attested as early as the 1030s.

    Probably in connection with the building of the castle to the north, the very sober facade of the church has been altered: one can still distinguish traces of the old bell tower with two arches, in the upper part. The bell tower built on the south arm of the transept is therefore posterior. The apse has the particularity of having been raised in order to fortify it and to fit various defensive elements (heated room, bay windows with cushions, access to gateways, etc.)
