Église Notre-Dame-et-Saint-Michel de Goudargues, Romanesque church in Goudargues, France.

Église Notre-Dame-et-Saint-Michel is a stone church displaying rounded arches, barrel vaults, and small windows, with thick walls braced by exterior buttresses throughout its structure. The building preserves its original choir and shows the typical construction methods of Romanesque design.

The structure originated in the 12th century and underwent multiple reconstructions while its original choir remained intact. Its historical value led to official recognition as a protected monument.

The name joins Notre-Dame and Saint-Michel, the two patrons under whom Guilhem founded an oratory in 781 after a victory over the Saracens. The monks' former refectory and chapter house now host cultural and artistic events, and the village grew around the church.

The church stands in the centre of Goudargues, in the Gard department of the Occitanie region, and is reached on foot from the surrounding streets. The nave is 37 metres long and 15 metres wide, with a single barrel-vaulted vessel, so the interior is easy to survey in one pass. Look for the Romanesque choir and apse, inscribed as a monument historique since 8 May 1939.

The monks of Goudargues drew water from fourteen springs and dug canals around the abbey, also using them to power an oil and grain mill. The oil mill stopped working after the severe winter of 1956. The church preserves the Romanesque choir and apse, listed as a monument historique since 8 May 1939.
