Eglise Sainte-Madeleine de Pleine-Selve

The church of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine Abbey is the jewel of the village of Pleine-Selve and the only remnant of the imposing Premonstratensian monastery. Its construction was ordered by the archbishop of Bordeaux between 1145 and 1150, and the monastery buildings were completely destroyed by French troops in 1407 during the Hundred Years' War and then during the Wars of Religion. The church itself was amputated of its nave. The Romanesque church is only the choir of the old church, only the apse presents the architecture of the 12th century. Today it is the parish church.
