FR Le 14 juin 1664, Monseigneur François de Grignan, archevêque d’Arles, se rend une seconde fois à la paroisse de Rognac (première visite en 1651). Il ordonne la construction de la nouvelle église à la famille Goyran, originaire de Vitrolles. La même année, Pierre Martin, maçon de Martigues, emporte l’enchère de la construction de la nouvelle église et de la maison claustrale (le presbytère).
L’église a été construite à partir des plans de Jean Jaubert, architecte de la ville d’Aix-en-Provence. On doit notamment à Monsieur Jaubert (1620-1685), les plans de deux hôtels particuliers de la rue Cardinale, de l’hôtel de ville d’Aix et de plusieurs édifices aixois. Le cimetière et le clocher de Rognac feront l’objet d’enchères plus tard. C’est un Goyran qui fait donation de la terre nécessaire à la nouvelle église qui est une terre à blé de haute qualité. Le clocher est construit en 1667, en même temps que le mur du cimetière, situé derrière l’église qui est achevée à ce moment-là.
En 1994, le parvis a été réaménagé. Les cloches, quant à elles, ont été remplacées en novembre 1996 et le chœur a été rénové en 1998.
EN On June 14, 1664, Monsignor François de Grignan, Archbishop of Arles, went a second time to the parish of Rognac (first visit in 1651). He ordered the construction of the new church to the Goyran family, originally from Vitrolles. The same year, Pierre Martin, a mason from Martigues, won the auction for the construction of the new church and the cloister house (the presbytery).
The church was built from plans by Jean Jaubert, architect of the city of Aix-en-Provence. We owe in particular to Mr. Jaubert (1620-1685), the plans of two private mansions on rue Cardinale, the town hall of Aix and several Aix buildings. Rognac’s cemetery and bell tower will be auctioned later. It’s a Goyran who donates the necessary land to the new church which is high quality wheat land. The bell tower was built in 1667, at the same time as the cemetery wall, located behind the church which was completed at that time.
In 1994, the forecourt was refurbished. The bells were replaced in November 1996 and the choir was renovated in 1998.
