Chapelle Sainte-Agathe de Langon

The Sainte-Agathe Chapel features rectangular architecture with five-meter-long walls constructed from sandstone and brick, including a two-meter deep semicircular apse.

Originally built in the 4th century as Roman baths, the structure was transformed into a church during the 6th century and later became a funeral chapel.

The chapel contains a 4th-century fresco depicting Venus emerging from water, along with three Merovingian sarcophagi and various religious artifacts.

Visitors can access guided tours of the chapel, which include detailed information about recent archaeological discoveries from three years of regional research.

The chapel represents one of the few remaining Gallo-Roman buildings in Brittany and has been classified as a historical monument since 1840.
