Eglise Saint Nicolas de Labenne

Church built in the second half of the 19th century according to a rather classical Latin cross plan. A particularity: the porch opens to the east and contradicts the Landes tradition that porches open to the west. This particularity would have been thought to protect from the west winds? Another originality characterizes this building: it is entirely covered with ivy.
In 1860, Napoleon III donated liturgical furnishings: the altar of the Virgin, the altar of St Joseph, a pulpit and the panelling. The church has a 19th century piéta and a 16th century wooden statue of a virgin with child. The church is open to the public
