The Notre-Dame-de-l’Epinette church in Libourne owes its name to the chapel it replaces, intended to house a thorn from Christ’s crown.
At the request of Eleanor of Aquitaine, a chapel outside the walls was built in Libourne in the 13th century. We plan to exhibit a Holy Thorn there which would have been acquired by Charlemagne.
The building was extensively altered over time, particularly in the 19th century. Today it is a vast neo-Gothic style church. It has a high bell tower, topped with a 71-meter stone spire, rebuilt in 1986.
