Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de La Bastide-Clairence

Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de La Bastide-Clairence, Gothic church in La Bastide-Clairence, France

The Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption Church features a three-gallery nave, a fourteenth-century Romanesque porch, and a tower reaching 20 meters in height.

The church, consecrated in 1315 by Bishop Arnaud de Puyana of Pamplona, underwent substantial reconstruction between 1776 and 1779.

The church ceiling contains 72 decorated coffers displaying coats of arms, while the choir houses three large paintings depicting Saint John the Baptist, the Assumption, and Saint Nicholas.

The building, constructed from ferruginous sandstone and Bidache limestone, measures 42 meters in length and 24 meters in width.

The church includes a covered cemetery paved with funeral slabs, which represents the only example of this architectural feature in the Basque Country.
