Van Gogh lived in this town for just over two months 130 years ago before his untimely death by his own hand. Among his many famous paintings is the fascade of this church.
But for him it would probably be a little known town church, now it is both famous and infamous (they refused to hold his funeral here).
Very pretty church inside to accompany the famous cascade.

This church is best known because of the Van Gogh painting. We passed it several times before venturing inside. It's well worth the visit. It's a little Gothic gem that goes back to the 11th century.

This church built between the 11th and the 13th century is not in itself that exceptional, if you have travelled around France a bit. It is, however, a great place to start your Van Gough tour of the village of Auvers, especially if you compare it to the famous painting!
Be sure to leave your vehicle down on the main road and make your way up to the church through the "Van Gough Park" (where you can pick up a free map at the "Office de Tourisme"), up the sloping alley that leads you to the picturesque Rue Daubigny? Turn right along this and you will soon come to the magnificent stairs that lead to the church (the stairs themselves have been attributed the title of "National Monument" in their own right.
Once inside the church the interior is lovely in its simplicity, with no glitter or gold, although the windows are worth a second look, especially those of the apse chapel, which are originals from the first half of the 12th century.
Once you have had a good look around you can either head to the village, or go on to the cemetary where Van Gogh and his brother are buried. In either case I would suggest walking up the little lane straight up above the church rather than the paved road that is indicated by the signs. It will take you through the fields up to Sente du Montier. Here you can turn right to reach the cemetary or left to go through the fields down to the village (at the end of it turn left into Rue Daubigny).

A lovely, melancholy, calm corner of France, very near to Paris, where Van Gogh spent the last 70 days of his life. He painted, among other corner, this lovely church. In itself it is not a great piece of art, but still nice to visit. Do not miss the other spots he painted, some are still similar to the originals.

Brilliant visit to yet another site of one of Vincent's major art works. If you are in the area or even if you are visiting Paris you can get here very easily by train inside 90 minutes. Do it!

Ironical visiting this place after Van Gogh's final resting place as although Van Gogh had painted this church they refused to assist with any part of his funeral due to he taking his own life. The church itself if quaint in its own way but what really brings it home is Van Gogh's painting.

This is the church in Auvers that Van Gogh depicted in one of his Painting. It is located in the town of Auvers on a hill. Past the church you'll find a field painted in another work.

This is set at the end of the painters pathway, it's a nice church the finish off the walk and move to think Vincent was there but other than that there wasn't much else there, seats outside for a sit down after the walk if you need them, plenty of shade, church wasn't open at the time we went in the afternoon, maybe about 4pm.

This lovely stone church in the quaint and scenic town of Auvers sur Oise is the subject of one of Van Gogh's most well known paintings. If you just take photos of the facade, you will miss the charming interiors and the many small replicas and "versions" of Van Gogh's paintings inside the church. Take the approach from the back, and see the vintage stone houses that line the path to the church. Gorgeous!

How do we get there via train from Paris
Written July 7, 2018
Hi. You can get there by train. Station right in the middle of the town. The machines in Paris will sell you a ticket directly to Auvers su Oise, but there is a change over.
