Abbey church of the former Benedictine monastery with remarkable votive offerings and a great organ renowned for its reconstruction

The abbey church of the former Benedictine monastery, founded in the 7th century, is a must-see! Inside, ex-votos depict scenes of rescue at sea. You can also admire the Dom Bedos organ, renowned for its reconstruction at the end of the last century. The bell tower to the right of the portal dates back to the 12th century, the porch to the 11th, while the bell tower to the left was added in the 19th century by the architect Abadie. The former Benedictine convent, which was originally converted into a hospice, now houses the École des Beaux-Arts.

It was closed the day I went but the face side look good and there is a garden behind. I'll go another time to check how it is inside.

L’église Sainte-Croix de Bordeaux est un édifice religieux au charme singulier, situé dans le quartier Saint-Michel. De style roman avec des influences gothiques, elle se distingue par sa façade sculptée richement ornée et son intérieur sobre mais élégant. Ancienne abbaye bénédictine, elle possède une histoire marquée par diverses transformations au fil des siècles. Son atmosphère paisible en fait un lieu propice à la contemplation, contrastant avec l’animation des environs. Bien que moins connue que la cathédrale Saint-André, elle mérite une visite pour son architecture et son orgue remarquable. Certains regrettent toutefois un entretien inégal et un manque de mise en valeur de son patrimoine.
