Facade Sud, Eglise, Les Vigneaux
This sun dial is found on the southern facade of the church in Les Vigneaux, in the Vallouise valley of the Hautes-Alpes, France.
The dial shows hour and half-hour lines from 6 o’clock until 3 o’clock. The gnomon is place in sun and below it one can see the moon. The dial is created in a formal republican style. Interestingly one can also see another set of hourlines. It is not clear where they come from. I assume that a different gnomoniste determined other hourlines in the past for some reason.
The date of dials is roughly 200 years due to the style used. In the archives no more information could be found.
The dial is restaured in 1989 by Atelier Tournesol.
