Église Saint-Mathias, Romanesque church in Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire, France.

Saint-Mathias Church features a western facade with a 13th-century portal, displaying pointed arches and four archways supported by decorated columns.

The church construction began in 1043 following the directive of Archbishop Godefroy of Bordeaux, after its foundation by Audouin II of Barbezieux.

The portal archways contain fourteen carved statuettes, while the column capitals display intricate foliage patterns representing medieval craftsmanship.

The building welcomes visitors and offers guided tours during Heritage Days, allowing exploration of its architecture and historical elements.

The 15th-century bell tower maintains its original features, including period window openings and statue-filled niches.
