"Agout" is an old Saintonge word meaning "sewer" which is here applied to the flow of water from the region to the marshes of the Gironde. The location of the church, on sloping ground on the edge of the road, may explain the addition of this word to its name, which gave St Georges d'Agout.
12th century church, enlarged in the 15th and 16th centuries. Dependent on the priory of St-Thomas-de-Conac in the 12th century, it retains a Romanesque structure and a western portal with arches and sculpted capitals. The right apse choir was covered with ribbed vaults in the 13th century. Existence of a solid square bell tower. New enlargement in the 19th century, with the construction of two chapels adjoining the collateral.
Building built in the 12th century. At the end of the 15th-beginning of the 16th century, the western bays of the nave are doubled by a second vessel to the south, and a square bell tower is high. To face the Wars of Religion, an upper chamber was built; presence of an underground refuge. In the 19th century, the late collateral was divided by a longitudinal shear wall, and received a slight vault; the apse is pierced with a twin neo-Romanesque window.
A sign at the entrance (and pictured in the must-see) explains the church's noteworthy features.
