This church is located near an old sanctuary dedicated to Saint-Martin, probably built around the beginning of the 12th century, and whose chronicles tell us that it was given to the priory of Mortagne by the bishop of Saintes Adhémar Carbonel in 1174. .
Having become dilapidated, the church was decommissioned during the 17th century and its destruction ordered in 1707.

Between 1857 and 1859, a restoration campaign was led by the architect of the district of Saintes Victor Fontorbe, who modified the structure of the building somewhat.

The church, located near the port, is regularly flooded. In the same way, it had recently to suffer from the violence of the storm of 1999.

This neo-Romanesque building forms a single vessel with two bays, ending in a semi-circular apse. Two apsidioles are added to the nave, one of which, dating from 1721, houses the seigniorial chapel of the barons of Uzet.

Saint-Étienne Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Originally, the Romanesque building had a Latin cross plan with an apse on each transept arm and a single nave. A first intervention was carried out in the Gothic period, perhaps after the Hundred Years War, at least on the vault of the south transept arm and the openings. The building suffered a lot of damage during the Wars of Religion (traces of fire in the north; mutilation of the upper parts of the transept; reconstruction of the sanctuary with a flat apse). The presence of stalls in the choir, which do not predate the 18th century, attests to the function of the conventual priory still at that time. Thirteen canons regular of the order of Saint Augustine were attached to it. In the 19th century saw the light of day the construction project of a bell tower that could serve as a berth for boats sailing on the Gironde. From 1857, the expansion of the church and the construction of the bell tower were recognized as essential. The architect Alaux's project was selected and the sculpture work on the new bell tower-porch was entrusted to the statuary Aristide Belloc. The old facade is demolished to make room for it. The western span of the nave has been lengthened. The apse has become flat and only the south apse of the transept has been preserved. The old exterior elements are in the residual state. Inside, in the crossing of the transept, the bundles of Romanesque columns have been preserved. Carved capitals bear witness to the original building (confronted animals, stylized foliage palmettes, foliage, interlacing). In the south arm of the transept, a molding resting on figure bases and a flattened capital decorated with three faces with departures of ribs, testify to the restorations and the heightening of the transept at the end of the Middle Ages (14th or 15th century).
