Église Saint-Vincent d'Urrugne, Renaissance church in Urrugne, France

Église Saint-Vincent d'Urrugne is a Renaissance church built in a French village near the Pyrenees. Its walls are thick and reinforced with buttresses, featuring defensive elements such as musket loopholes integrated into its overall design.

The church was built in the 11th century and rebuilt in the 16th century in Renaissance style, dedicated to Saint Vincent of Xaintes. It was listed as a monument historique on 19 May 1925.

The church is dedicated to Saint Vincent, a martyr deacon, and belongs to the Diocese of Bayonne. Inside, a wooden gallery on three levels runs along the walls, and the great organ was renewed in 2009. The holy water font and the preaching pulpit are both listed in the inventory of the Ministry of Culture.

The church is centrally located in Urrugne and easily reached on foot. Visitors should note that opening times vary since regular religious services are held throughout the week.

The sundial is on the porch, not the bell tower, and carries the Latin maxim Vulnerant Omnes Ultima Necat, "all wound, the last kills". The same motto appears in Latin on the church of Sare, a neighbouring village of Labourd. Look for it before entering.
