Église Notre-Dame de Sainte-Foy-la-Grande

About

Notre Dame Church is the Catholic church of the city of Sainte-Foy-la-Grande in Gironde. Dedicated to the Virgin Mary, it is located 24 rue des Frères-Reclus. Built in the 13th century, the first church was destroyed in 1561 by the Huguenots.

It was rebuilt between 1622 and 1686, retaining the old building only the porch among other rare elements of Romanesque style. It took its present appearance only with the expansion of 1850, supplemented in 1871 by a stone arrow rising from its bell tower.
