Eglise Saint-Jean-Baptiste

The Saint-Jean-Baptiste church in Lahosse, which had been out of use for many years, was razed in 1929. The materials were kept and used to build a new church, financed by a subscription. The building was designed by three architects from Biarritz (Mouny, Nicaud and Sajous). The church is not old, it seems quite simple. However, if you look closely, you will discover an astonishing Art Deco ensemble from the beginning of the 20th century: pure and simple volumes, a flat ceiling, large arches that fall on double columns and powerful capitals with cleverly stylized interlacing.
