Notre-Dame, Bordeaux
Exceptional Baroque church on the Rue Mably
The Notre-Dame church in Bordeaux is an excellent, late 17th-century example of Baroque architecture located in the Golden Triangle area.
It was built by the Dominicans to complement their large monastery and was designed by Pierre-Michel Duplessy and Mathieu Labat. It has an impressive façade which includes a relief of the Virgin Mary giving a rosary to Saint Dominic.
Inside, there are chapels with trompe-l'oeil mural paintings, as well as 10 religious scenes painted by Frere Andre in the 17th century. The organ dates back to 1775.
