The most beautiful religious buildings New Aquitaine

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.
