Église Saint-Rémi, Historical monument in central Bordeaux, France.
Église Saint-Rémi is a church building in Bordeaux featuring two main naves that end in polygonal apses, along with two narrower side aisles. The structure combines architectural elements from the 11th to 15th centuries in its design.
The Saint-Rémi parish was founded in 507 when Clovis visited Bordeaux, though the current building developed gradually between the 11th and 15th centuries. This extended construction period reflects medieval architectural developments.
The church was converted into a cultural venue around 2000 and now hosts exhibitions and concerts. Visitors can experience the interior with its preserved medieval elements that shape the space.
The building sits within a dense 19th-century architectural complex, so views of the facades and bell tower are limited from street level. Plan to spend time inside to fully appreciate the details that define the space.
Excavations in 1866 beneath the building uncovered an underground chamber decorated with a Gallo-Roman mosaic. The discovery suggests an ancient Jupiter temple may have stood at this location.
