Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Bidart

The stone church building features thick defensive walls, a bell tower in Labourd architectural style, and a cemetery with traditional Basque tombstones.

The church construction dates to 1578, evidenced by a donation document from Monseigneur de Sossiondo and a carved stone lintel marked with the year 1610.

The interior displays multiple religious artifacts, including a wooden crucifix from 1750, an oak statue of Saint James, and Spanish-influenced altarpieces from the 17th century.

The church maintains regular visiting hours and stands on Rue de l'Église, with access to numerous accommodation options in the surrounding area.

The church contains Byzantine-style baptismal fonts, presented as a gift from Queen Nathalie of Serbia's sister, Princess Ghika, who found refuge in Bidart.
