The Église Saint-Martin in Ansouis is a 13th-century Romanesque church and a listed historic monument. It is located directly along the city walls and is part of a fortified complex with the neighboring château. Its striking feature is the bell gable with four round-arched openings above the triumphal arch. The interior consists of a vaulted hall with a transept and a rectangular apse. Particularly noteworthy are a gilded high altar, a five-part reredos in honor of Saint Elzéar and Blessed Delphine, and a baptismal font from 1672. The church was reinforced in the 16th century with stones from the old castle. For a time, it also served as the château's court. Its walls still show the remains of the original loopholes. Saint-Martin has been a filming location for films such as "Jean de Florette" and "Manon des Sources." It is open daily and is a testament to Provençal history and architecture.

It was a water reserve used to supply the grist mills in case of shortages. In these types of lakes, water from springs in the Luberon massif was stored all year round. Now it is a beautiful pond with goldfish
