Église Sainte-Catherine, Gothic church in La Flotte, France.

Sainte-Catherine Church features a neoclassical facade from 1818, medieval ribbed vaults, and a bell tower elevated in 1765 in central La Flotte.

The first religious building, mentioned in 1402, started as a chapel belonging to the Mauléon Castle before becoming an independent parish in the 15th century.

Eleven stained glass windows, created between 1876 and 1878 by the Besseyrias company from Périgueux, display religious scenes throughout the building.

The church, located on Rue de l'Église in La Flotte, remains open year-round and provides wheelchair accessibility for visitors.

Cardinal Richelieu gifted a bell to the parishioners in 1632, marking the historical significance of this religious building in the region.
