À propos du lieu

Abbaye de La Sauve-Majeure

14 rue de l'Abbaye, 33670 La Sauve

Gironde
Nouvelle-Aquitaine

A masterpiece of 12th-century Romanesque art, this former Benedictine abbey was an active and well-known religious centre. The whole that remains offers the gaze of admirable capitals where the biblical representations adjoin the monsters coming from the depths of the ages or from the far east. From the top of its bell tower, the view is impressive on the village and the landscape. The remarkable remains of this open-air site are a testimony of religious architecture in the heart of the Entre-deux-Mers.
