This church was built at the beginning of the 12th century by Augustinian monks, construction continued until the 16th century. It is now the parish church of Saint-Emilion. Concerts are held in the church every year. This is one of the largest churches in the Gironde. Inside is a sculpture of St. Valerie, the local patron of winemakers (near the treasury door), which dates back to the 16th century. It has been a historical monument since 1840. Don't miss the cloister, which dates back to the 14th century.→
