Église Saint-Vincent d'Urrugne

The Saint Vincent Church features thick walls reinforced with buttresses and defensive elements including musket loopholes integrated into its architectural design.

Initially mentioned in 1023 and dedicated to Saint Vincent de Xaintes, the original structure was destroyed during Spanish incursions in the early 16th century.

The church interior contains a single nave covered with wooden paneling, leading to an elevated choir crowned with an eight-sectioned Gothic-inspired ribbed vault.

Located at 7 Rue Bernard de Coral in central Urrugne, the church maintains regular visiting hours and holds traditional religious services throughout the week.

A sundial on the bell tower displays the Latin inscription Vulnerant Omnes Ultima Necat, reflecting the measurement of time through the centuries.
