Church of St Vincent, Romanesque church in Le Mas-d'Agenais, France

The Church of St Vincent stands on the market square with a pale, patchy stone facade. Its central tower has a steep dark roof, a square clock face and a round window above a deep portal framed by concentric carved archways. A lower section to the left has a tiled roof and two pointed-arched windows.

Built between the late 11th and early 12th centuries, the church was listed as a monument historique by the 1840 list. Its Romanesque capitals, carved with Old Testament scenes in the apse and south aisle, New Testament scenes in the north aisle and on the triumphal arch, and non-biblical scenes in the nave, date from this campaign.

The wooden choir stalls created by the Tournié workshop in 1691 show the skill of local craftspeople. Visitors can notice the carved details throughout these pieces, reflecting the artistic traditions of the region.

The church stands in the centre of Le Mas-d'Agenais on the place du Marché. The deep round-arched west portal, framed by concentric carved archways, opens beneath the clock face and circular window of the central tower. The Rembrandt painting is kept in the sacristy rather than the nave, so it is not on permanent view.

A Rembrandt painting showing Christ on the cross hangs here and was discovered in the sacristy in 1850. The work from 1631 is one of the village's most valuable art treasures.
