Église de la Madeleine, Neoclassical church in Mont-de-Marsan, France
The Madeleine is a church building with neoclassical style in Mont-de-Marsan, featuring straight lines and symmetrical facades typical of this period. The interior layout combines classical columns with simple geometric surfaces that make the space feel bright and well-ordered.
This church was completed in 1829 during a period when the city underwent architectural modernization under the Bourbon Restoration. This time brought new buildings and a focused rebuilding of the town center.
The name refers to Mary Magdalene and this building served as the main place of worship for the town for generations. Visitors can still observe the careful craftsmanship in the interior details that reflect the skill of 19th-century artisans.
The building stands on Grande-Rue and is accessible to visitors year-round, best reached on foot. Its location near the town center makes it easy to include in a walk through the city.
The artistic interior was designed by sculptor Mazetti and designer Arthaud, showing a rare example of regional craftsmanship from this period. This collaboration between two artists is still visible today in the fine details throughout the church interior.
