Surrounded by its pretty cemetery, the church of Saint-Pierre-de-Mons is one of the most endearing monuments of the Gironde Landes. It was, in the Middle Ages, an important stage for the many pilgrims who took the "way of Tours" to go to Santiago de Compostela. The building is old, as evidenced by the walls of the apse and nave, built in rubble of small apparatus, characteristic of the end of the eleventh century. At the beginning of the 12th century, the apse is vaulted in cul-de-four, and in the 14th century, the portal of the church is added. In the 15th century, the nave is reinforced with Gothic buttresses and pierced with new bays. Then, a tower with a floor dedicated to defense is built to the west of the nave; the latter is enlarged by a south aisle. The church is listed in the supplementary inventory of historical monuments (1987). Informations Free.
