The Romanesque façade of this church stands out from those of other buildings

A former Benedictine priory, listed as a historic monument in 1883, it is the town's main parish church, right in the heart of Cognac's historic center. The 12th-century Romanesque facade stands out from other buildings of this type, as it was adorned with a rose window, added 300 years later. From its construction in 1130, to the successive alterations of the following centuries, Saint-Léger church has preserved an astonishing blend of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles. The portal is decorated with the signs of the zodiac.

Très belle église relativement simple mais très bien entretenue. Elle est située en plein centre dans une zone piétonnière, et juxtaposant des habitations de Cognac, elle se mêle bien au paysage. Elle est aussi belle de l'intérieur que de l'extérieur (très beaux vitraux). Très belle par sa simplicité.

Très belle église , de l'intérieur comme de l'extérieur , un lieu de prière et de recueillement, ou je fait bruler toujours un cierge.
