Church of Jeune-Soulac, Soulac-sur-Mer

The church of Jeune-Soulac is more than two kilometres away from the abbey church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Fin-des-Terres: it is not oriented, perhaps in order to protect the entrance from the sandy westerly winds.

About this building

The eastern facade consists of a bell-tower-porch with a square base pierced on three sides by semicircular arches. The nave is organised as a single two-bay nave lit by semicircular windows. A transept opens on to the choir with a chevet with cut-off sides, on which two lean-to buildings to the north and south are grafted.
