Église Saint-Pierre de Saint-Pierre-d'Oléron, Classical church in Saint-Pierre-d'Oléron, France.
The stone church features a symmetrical cross-shaped structure with a bell tower adorned by sculptures of the four evangelists at its corners.
The current building, constructed from 1699 to 1703, stands on the site of a former priory established by Eleanor of Aquitaine in 1159.
The interior houses a northern fir altarpiece from 1764, displaying scenes from the lives of Mary and Jesus through detailed carvings.
The church maintains regular visiting hours throughout the year, with guided tours available to explain the architectural elements and historical significance.
World War II liberation soldiers left graffiti messages within the church walls, providing direct connections to the island's wartime experiences.
