Église Sainte-Foy d'Agen

The Sainte-Foy church stands at the end of Boulevard President-Carnot, next to the Agen train station, featuring a prominent clock tower.

Construction of the current church structure began in 1877 under the direction of architect Leopold Payen, replacing an earlier religious building from the 13th century.

The church bears the name of Saint Foy, a martyr from 303 AD, whose relics were originally preserved in a fifth-century crypt called Saint-Caprais-du-Martyre.

The church maintains regular opening hours for both religious services and visitors, with the building serving as a central landmark for orientation in Agen.

The bell tower, completed in 1877, represents a collaboration between architect Leopold Payen and his son, incorporating their combined architectural vision.
