Corme-Écluse - Notre-Dame

Corme-Écluse - Notre-Dame
Since 1104 a priory existed here, depending from the Abbaye aux Dames in Saintes. The erection of the church was completed in 1200 - and by now is the parish church for the population of Corme-Écluse. All other building, that belonged to the priory are lost.

Notre Dame has the layout of a Latin Cross - and a wonderful facade, seen here. A perfect example of the "style saintongeais".
