Eglise de Saint-Vivien-de-Médoc

Located in the heart of the village, the origin of its construction would go back to the 6th century. It was first a simple chapel dedicated to the cult of Saint Vivien, bishop of Saintes. Threatened with destruction on several occasions, notably during barbarian invasions and religious wars, it was restored and embellished in the 12th century, a period during which its remarkable Romanesque style apse was built and still remains today. In 1957, the church was given a new bell tower. Its somewhat surprising architectural style is still an inexhaustible topic of conversation for visitors and inhabitants of the village.
