Church of St. Peter in Mons

Surrounded by its pretty cemetery, the Saint-Pierre de Mons church is one of the most endearing monuments in the Gironde Landes. It was in the Middle Ages an important stage for the many pilgrims who took the
"way of Tours" to get to Santiago de Compostela. The building is old as confirmed by the walls of the apse and the nave built in rubble stone, characteristic of the end of the 1987th century. At the beginning of the XNUMXth century, the apse received a cul-de-four vaulting and in the XNUMXth century the portal of the church was built. In the XNUMXth century, the nave was reinforced with Gothic buttresses and pierced with new bays. Then, a tower with a floor dedicated to defense was built to the west of the nave; the latter is extended by a south aisle. The church is listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments (XNUMX).
