Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Gruissan, Medieval church in Gruissan, France.

The Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption church features a bell tower with ochre walls and contains marble columns supporting an elaborate baldachin reaching the ceiling.

The church structure dates from the 13th century and incorporates defensive elements such as arrow slits that were later widened to allow more light.

A painting by Jacques Gamelin from 1797 commemorates thirty-two local fishermen who perished at sea, reflecting the maritime heritage of Gruissan.

Regular Sunday services take place at 10:30 AM throughout the year, with special celebrations on June 29 for the fishermen's festival.

The pink marble columns from Caunes-Minervois were donated by Arthur Richard Dillon, the last Archbishop of Narbonne before the French Revolution.
