Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Lesparre-Médoc
Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Lesparre-Médoc, Catholic church in Lesparre-Médoc, France.
The Église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Lesparre-Médoc displays Gothic ogival architecture featuring three naves with seven bays and a three-bay apse, characterized by pointed arches, flying buttresses, and detailed traditional stonework throughout the structure.
Built over several centuries, this church houses historical furnishings including a large wooden crucifix from the 10th century, baptismal fonts from 1866, and chandeliers dating from the late 19th century that showcase the evolution of religious craftsmanship.
The church's stained-glass windows, crafted during the 19th and early 20th centuries by master glassmakers from Bordeaux, draw inspiration from medieval stained-glass art and depict biblical scenes with intricate patterns representing regional religious artistic traditions.
The church is open to visitors every Saturday from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM, with additional visiting hours during July and August on Mondays and Thursdays from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, and group tours can be arranged by advance reservation.
The church features an organ built in 1881 by Wenner, a renowned organ builder, which earned a gold medal at the Bordeaux Exhibition before being installed the following year, significantly enhancing the church's musical heritage and acoustic capabilities.
