SAINT JOHN THE BAPTIST CHURCH
A new church in the city center, featuring a series of stained glass windows with figures, a choir and decorative paintings.
Following the failure of several restoration projects for the old Saint-Jean-de-Berraute church in 1875-1876, the Mauléon town council decided in 1877 to build a new church in the town center. The church was consecrated in 1885, and it was in 1885-1890 that Eugène Hucher, master glassworker at the Carmelite convent in Le Mans, supplied a set of stained glass windows with figures. From 1892, the choir and nave received decorative paintings by Abbé Xavier Montaut, a painter based in Oloron. Latin cross plan.
