In Saint-Baudille-de-la-Tour, the present-day parish church of Saint-Baudille stands in the hamlet of Les Trois Fontaines, described as the place where Baudillius was beheaded. The church building was constructed between 1895 and 1898, based on the plans and estimates of Grenoble architect Ferdinand Bugey, on the site of the former church but with a different orientation.
