Église Saint-Georges de Saint-Georges-de-Didonne, Romanesque parish church in Saint-Georges-de-Didonne, France
The church features a composite architectural design with a Romanesque nave, neo-Roman bell tower, and neo-Gothic elements spanning multiple construction periods.
Starting as a Cluniac priory in the 12th century, the church endured damages during the Wars of Religion and underwent substantial reconstruction in 1784.
Medieval sculptors created six Romanesque capitals inside the church depicting biblical scenes including Original Sin and Daniel in the Lions' Den.
The church maintains free public access throughout the year and contains three bells weighing 768, 450, and 275 kilograms respectively.
The wooden ceiling installed in 1913 replaced the original stone vaulting and remains in place today as a distinctive architectural element.
