HOLY CROSS ABBEY
Abbey of the former Benedictine monastery with remarkable ex-voto and a great organ, an address not to be missed in Bordeaux.
The abbey church of the former Benedictine monastery, founded in the 7th century, is a must-see! Inside, ex-votos depict scenes of rescue at sea. You can also admire the Dom Bedos organ, renowned for its reconstruction at the end of the last century. The bell tower to the right of the portal dates back to the 12th century, the porch to the 11th, while the bell tower to the left was added in the 19th century by the architect Abadie. The former Benedictine convent, which was originally converted into a hospice, now houses the École des Beaux-Arts.
