The most beautiful religious buildings Pyrénées-Atlantiques

The parish church of Notre-Dame was built in the^4th quarter of the 17th century (1688). The church only became a parish church in 1793. The date 1846 which appears on the key of the arch of the entrance portal, corresponds to a great campaign of works, with in particular the construction of the porch and the reorganization of the bell tower. At the end of the 19th century, new installations were made, including the installation of stained glass windows by master glass artist Pierre Dagrand. The building was redesigned and decorated with stained glass windows in the 20th century.

It is in vain that you would look for it in Mendionde, because it is located in the district, formerly known as Lekhorne, which is far enough from the village to confuse the visitor... This church dates from the 15th century and is surrounded by a wall containing the village cemetery with its numerous steles, cruciform and discoidal. On the outside, the church has a single nave topped by a gabled bell tower, in the style of the Labourd religious architecture. Inside, around the nave, it is three levels of galleries; vault painted with frescoes, altarpiece dedicated to Saint-Cyprian...

The fourteenth-century Gothic church, abandoned during the Revolution, was replaced by this new building, the construction of which began in 1859. The trend was neo-Gothic and the church of St. Vincent is of this time with, however, a technical innovation of avant-garde for its time: the use of cast iron for the supports of the wooden galleries. On the outside, on a Latin cross plan, nave flanked by two aisles; pentagonal chevet framed by two sacristies; square bell tower-porch, surmounted by a spire completed in 1869; perron and exterior stairs.
