Église Saint-Ferdinand de Bordeaux, Catholic church in Croix-de-Seguey district, Bordeaux, France
Église Saint-Ferdinand is a Neo-Romanesque church building with twin towers on its northern facade and three statues positioned above the entrance porch. The interior features a richly decorated marble altar with Neo-Gothic details including small pinnacles and saint figures carved into the composition.
The building was constructed between 1862 and 1867 under the direction of architects Paul Abadie and Jean-Jacques Valleton. The structure was built from Camarsac limestone, a stone chosen for its durability and appearance.
The church is named after Saint Ferdinand III of Castile, whose statue stands prominently above the entrance. Inside, ornate marble work and statuary throughout the interior reflect the religious devotion that shaped this space.
The building is accessible during religious services, so visitors should check the current schedule before planning a visit. It is located in the Croix-de-Seguey neighborhood and can be reached easily on foot.
All stained glass windows were created by master craftsman Joseph Villiet during a single creative campaign and seamlessly integrated into the building's design. This unified artistic effort made the windows a cohesive part of the overall composition.
