Arces - Saint-Martin
A early church has been on this outcrop, overlooking the mouth of the Gironde, since the 11th century. Owned by the abbey of Vaux (today "Vaux-sur-Mer", 24kms north) a new church was erected within the 12th century.
Later the structure, built on a Latin-cross-floorplan, got enlarged and altered a couple of times. The facade seen here dates back to the early 18th century, when a renovation was undertaken thanks to the financial support of Louis XIV.
Despite the many renovation and reconstructions, the Romanesque choir, with its capitals, was kept intact, as it got integrated into the "new" church.
