Église Saint-Pierre de Bordeaux, Gothic church in Old Bordeaux, France.

The Église Saint-Pierre de Bordeaux is a Gothic church on Place Saint-Pierre in the eastern part of Bordeaux. Its light beige stone facade has a tall tower with paired arched openings, a central gable topped by a cross, a small circular window with tracery and a large pointed-arch window with vertical mullions. Three pointed-arch portals open at the base, the central one recessed within a larger arch, and a lower bay on the right holds a tall pointed window and a smaller portal. Inside, grey stone ribs and pointed arches support a high vaulted ceiling; a central pointed arch frames a tall stained-glass window above the altar, with two narrower stained-glass windows flanking it, wooden benches on either side of a stone aisle, a dark wooden pulpit with a carved canopy on the left and a stone statue against a column on the right.

Gregory of Tours mentions a raised altar above a crypt near the Devèze, the only record of the early Christian church. From 1358 the building was rebuilt entirely under Clement V, work running from the mid-14th to the end of the 15th century. A fire in November 1977 damaged the choir, leading to the removal of the main altar and organ and a restoration of the vaults and windows.

The parish belongs to the Port pastoral sector, grouped with Saint-Michel, Sainte-Croix, Saint-Paul and Saint-Éloi and entrusted in 2009 to the Communauté du Chemin-Neuf. In the centre of the choir, a stained-glass window made by Joseph Villiet around 1860 shows a white queen with two chained black slaves at her feet.

The church stands on Place Saint-Pierre in the eastern part of the old city, a short walk from the Garonne quays. Enter through the central pointed-arch portal on the gabled facade; the three portals open at the base of the front. The nave is lined with wooden benches on either side of a stone aisle, and the choir lies at the far end beneath the stained-glass windows.

The stained-glass window at the centre of the choir, made by Joseph Villiet around 1860, shows a white queen with two chained black slaves at her feet. A fire in November 1977 ravaged the choir, leading to the dismantling of the high altar and the organ, and the windows blackened by the flames were later restored.
