Eglise Saint Vincent Diacre

The square tower of the XIth century, 15 meters high, is of an astonishing robustness with its wide walls of more than one meter. It serves as a bell tower for the church and stands proudly in the centre of the village. The church was built later. Pierced with loopholes, this tower had a defensive role at the time of the wars between the lords of the surroundings. On the first floor, crenellations cut into the stone served as benches for the guards who kept watch. Then the shepherds watched the flocks of sheep from the tower. The tower offers a beautiful view, especially on the oak groves of the Adour. The entrance is highlighted by a beautiful oak door with sculptures carved in stone on both sides. On the ground, under the porch, one can observe 3 slabs covering burials. The church has been restored twice in 2009 and 2016.
