Église Saint-Blaise de Gourby (Rivière-Saas-et-Gourby, Aquitaine, France) - Roman Catholic Churches on Waymarking.com

[FR] Cette chapelle date du XIIIe siècle. Elle est tout ce qui reste du prieuré bénédictin de Gourby, qui dépendait de l'abbaye de Cagnotte fondée vers l'an 900 par des moines bénédictins.
La muraille de la chapelle irrégulièrement percée d'étroites fenêtres et dépourvue de toute ornementation témoigne éloquemment de la pauvreté monacale vécue au prieuré de Gourby. En 1975, elle a bénéficié d'une restauration par les soins bénévoles de ses habitants.
