Église Sainte-Foy d'Agen, Roman Catholic church in Agen, France
The église Sainte-Foy d'Agen is a Catholic church standing at the end of Boulevard President-Carnot near the train station, distinguished by its prominent clock tower. The building features a wide facade and interior spaces filled with light from numerous windows.
The current structure was built starting in 1877 under architect Leopold Payen and replaced an earlier church from the 13th century. This reconstruction marked a turning point in the building's evolution and the city's religious landscape.
The church is dedicated to Saint Foy, a martyr whose veneration shaped religious practices in this region for centuries. Her name and story remain central to how locals understand this building's spiritual role.
The building is easily accessible from the train station and serves as a useful landmark for orientation in the city. Regular opening hours allow both pilgrims and tourists to explore the interior comfortably.
The bell tower was completed in 1877 through a collaboration between architect Leopold Payen and his son. This family partnership resulted in a shared architectural achievement that remains visible in the tower's design.
