Sainte-Marie Church of Rieux-Minervois
Visit Sainte-Marie in Rieux-Minervois to examine its unusual seven-sided Romanesque plan and notable carved interior, a focused architecture stop in the Minervois.
Why go
The church’s heptagonal form gives you a specific architectural feature to look for rather than another general village church visit. Its Romanesque structure and carved interior reward a slow circuit of the building. Rieux-Minervois places this unusual plan within a Minervois village setting, adding a different architectural focus to a regional outing.
