Église Saint-Pierre de La Sauve, Gothic church in La Sauve, France.

The church features a rectangular nave divided into three bays, with painted decorations from the late 16th century covering the interior walls.

Founded in 1083 and reconstructed in Gothic style during the late 12th and early 13th centuries, with some Romanesque elements in its carved modillons.

The flat chevet displays four life-size statues from the 16th century, representing Saint Peter, the Virgin Mary, Saint Michael, and Saint James.

The church remains open for visits every Sunday from June 19 to September 18, between 3 PM and 7 PM, with volunteers providing guidance.

Since 2020, the church houses Charles Gounod's salon organ, commissioned from Aristide Cavaillé-Coll in 1878.
