Origin and history

The Saint-Pierre de Gémozac church, located in the Charente-Maritime department, is a Romanesque religious building in the Romanesque style. Built from 1163, it is marked by a bell tower surmounted by a high octagonal arrow in stone. Its Latin cross plan and flat bedside are characteristic of this architectural period. The building served as a nucleus around which the village of Gémozac gradually became structured, illustrating its central role in medieval community life.

The church was classified as historic monuments by order of 19 November 1910, thereby recognizing its heritage value. This ranking demonstrates its historical and architectural importance, especially for its Romanesque style and its distinctive elements such as the octagonal arrow. Today, it remains a symbol of the religious and cultural heritage of the New Aquitaine region.

The exact location of the church is at 1 Bis Rue Gambetta, in the municipality of Gémozac, whose Insee code is 17172. This monument, owned by the municipality, continues to play a role in local life, although information on its accessibility or current uses (visits, events) is not detailed in the available sources.
