Rioux - Notre-Dame de l’Assomption

Not much is known about the history of Notre-Dame de l’Assomption, an outstanding example of the specific "style saintongeais".

As the structure is so masterly built and has such sophisticated carvings, it is believed, that this was a priory church, when it was built mid of the 12th century.

The church, now used by the parish, even had a crossing tower, that collapsed during the 15th century.
