This vast building was originally owned by the Augustinian Abbey of Saint-Étienne de Mortagne (now defunct). Built beginning in the 13th century, the current church was supplemented with a flat chevet pierced by a triplet in the following century. The bell tower, set on a powerful square stump, extends into an octagonal floor, built in the 15th century. At that time, it housed seven bells. As in many parishes in the region, the bells of Cozes were taken down and taken to Royan Castle in 1548 as punishment for ringing the alarm bells of revolt during the Pitauds Jacquerie. The nave vaults collapsed in 1756 and were economically rebuilt in the 19th century. The five bays of the nave are covered with a very simple basket-handle ceiling, while the side chapels, on either side of the choir, are covered with groin vaults. The church has retained its 13th-century capitals with plant or historiated motifs, and part of its exterior ornamentation (cords, frieze, small columns, and an allusion to Aesop's fable, The Fox and the Stork). The façade contrasts sharply with the rest of the building. Neoclassical in inspiration, with its triangular pediment, it was redone in the 19th century. The furnishings include elements from all periods. The church nevertheless retains an 18th-century pulpit. Assembled by a cabinetmaker from Burie, it was intended for the Sainte-Colombe church in Saintes. It was later sold to the parish priest of Cozes. In 2000, the stained-glass windows were restored. An access ramp was installed for the disabled. Until the winter of 1862-1863, the church was surrounded by a cemetery. It was moved to La Grande Herbaude, and the square surrounding the church was then The area was leveled and planted with trees. In 1877, five bells were reinstalled. The bell tower houses a peal of five swinging bells, cast in 1877 by the Guillaume d'Angers foundry: Claire-Louise: F3 - approximately 950 kilos, Marie-Thérèse: A3 - approximately 450 kilos, Marie-Louise: C4 - approximately 250 kilos, Louise-Georgette: F4 - approximately 100 kilos, Marie-Madelaine: A4 - approximately 50 kilos. This peal is exceptional for several reasons. Peals composed of five bells are very rare in the Charente-Maritime department: there are fewer than five. It is rare for four or more bells to be cast simultaneously. Often, over time, one bell is recast, another is added, and often the different bells do not come from the same foundry. In Cozes, the five bells were cast together by a single founder. This is the only case in Charente-Maritime. Since these bells were cast at the same time, this guarantees the same homogeneity of the metal and therefore a much better sound when the five bells chime together. They form the perfect chord of F major.

The project: Save the medieval church of Cozes Support this restoration project for the Saint-Pierre church in Cozes, built from the 12th century onwards. Listed as a historic monument, this building is in a worrying state of preservation. In 2018, the building, which was suffering from a sagging roof and water infiltration, was closed; the rehabilitation work, estimated at €2.5 million, will have to be spread over several years. In 2020, the church was one of twelve sites in Nouvelle-Aquitaine selected to benefit from the Heritage Lottery and will receive €140,000 from Stéphane Bern's Heritage Mission. A first round of urgent work on the south aisle took place in 2020-2021. Thanks to donations, this initial preservation work has raised over €61,000. A second phase of work will begin in September 2024 for the restoration of the bell tower and staircase turret. "I am delighted to welcome you back for our sponsorship campaign for the restoration of the Saint-Pierre de Cozes church. Since 2020, your generosity has enabled significant progress in the preservation of this historic monument. Thanks to the support of over 200 donors (individuals, local and national businesses, foundations, etc.), we have achieved exceptional work together. After the first urgent phase of work carried out in 2020-2021 on the south aisle, we must now focus our efforts on the second and third phases of work relating to the exterior restoration of the bell tower and staircase turret." This work, estimated to last approximately 18 months, starting in September 2024, requires a total budget of €1,017,500. Our goal is to raise €100,000 in donations to supplement local government grants and ensure the completion of this crucial work. I would also like to acknowledge the ephemeral works of art that have marked our sponsorship campaign: beach art by Jben, the Elise Bachour concert, the ice sculpture by the Lopez confectionery, and many other initiatives have attracted an ever-growing audience. The 7th grade students from Les Vielles Vignes middle school in Cozes also joined our cause: each of them created a drawing inspired by the fable of the Fox and the Stork to illustrate our fundraising campaign, and they created a large collective mural on the wall of their middle school, thus demonstrating their commitment to our heritage. As a local business, your participation is of paramount importance. By supporting our project, you strengthen your corporate social responsibility (CSR) and your civic image while developing a meaningful partnership with the municipality of Cozes. Join us in this noble adventure that contributes to the preservation of our heritage, the local economy, and the attractiveness of our region! With my sincere thanks. Grazielle Bordage Mayor of Cozes

There is no information on the WEB concerning the history of this church. According to the elders of the commune, this church dates back to the 12th century. According to the deliberations of the municipal council of the commune: - the church was rebuilt over the period from 1800 to 1847 following a fire. - the sacristy was enlarged in 1864 The church contains magnificent wooden statues and is adorned with multi-colored stained glass windows with geometric shapes.

The church of Notre-Dame de Corme-Écluse was the seat of a former Benedictine priory. In 1105, the bishop of Saintes, Ramnufle, donated it to the monastery of Saint-Jean-d’Angély, “so that he could always enjoy it and possess it in perpetuity”. The abbey is said to have been behind the reconstruction of the building in the middle of the 12th century. Characteristic of Romanesque architecture, this building has a façade framed by two buttresses. The church has a rich sculpted ensemble of intertwined human, animal and plant motifs on the capitals and voussoirs of the façade, devoid of any religious character. Little impacted by the Wars of Religion, the monument has undergone few transformations over time. From the end of the 18th century, maintenance work was undertaken mainly inside the church, including the repointing of the walls and paintings. In 1822, the reconstruction of the bell frame was launched, then in 1852, the west facade was redone. A new restoration took place around 1860, the sacristy was enlarged by the construction of a semi-circular annex in the extension of the Romanesque apse. From 1880, a campaign of repair of the roofs was undertaken, then a new belfry was placed in the bell tower. From 1890 to 1900, the cemetery which surrounded the church was moved to the "Fief des Rentes". This former burial place was thus transformed into a public square. From 1926, the roof of the choir was replaced and the bell tower made watertight. In 1971, the work programme included the renovation of the exterior walls, the demolition of the false apse and the sacristy which hid the apse of the south transept, the repointing of the western façade and the restoration of the bell tower. In 1990, the main door was replaced by oak leaves with the repointing of the stones and the replacement of the arch keystone, which had collapsed. In the 2000s, the municipality had the mechanism of the two belfry bells repaired, the building was illuminated, the tiles were reworked and the plants growing on the building were removed. Maintenance work is still necessary.

The organs of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste church in Saujon. In 1962-1963, Pierre Nadeau built a 6-stop organ, without visible pipes, entirely expressive. In 1973, Dominique Oberthür carried out a repair of the organ. In 1978-1979, the Etablissements Muhleisen of Strasbourg rebuilt the organ which was inaugurated by Jacques Dussouil on June 9, 1979. The Walther Buffet is a two-body, polychrome, in fir and plywood. The large body has three turrets (the central one in a pointed third) framing two flat faces. The back positive includes two flat turrets framing a flat face. The facade includes 56 tin pipes (29 in the large body and 27 in the back positive). Console in a window projecting from the base. 4 windchests with engravings and registers.

The first Romanesque church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, about which we know practically nothing except that it replaced a monument destroyed and burned in 1415 by the English, at the same time as the priory of Saint-Martin and this by a certain Hutington, at the breaking of the truces of King Richard. Around 1530 it was ruined during the wars of religion. It had a vaulted nave and buttresses larger than the current church. The current church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, built between 1679 and 1683, on a project by Jacques Guérinet, architect of the convent buildings of the Abbaye-aux-Dames de Saints. Houses four capitals of the old Romanesque church, discovered during work carried out on the fairground. One of them shows Daniel in the lion's den, the saint seated blessing holds the Book. It is separated from the wild animals by a horseshoe-shaped mandorla, decorated with pearls. Another capital represents the Resurrection with the Holy Women and the tomb on which the angel is seated. The third illustrates the Weighing of Souls. The clothes, the finely worked details, the varied expressions of the characters (note the horrible clawed demon who tries to tip the scales on his side), make this work one of the peaks of Saintonge Romanesque sculpture. The last one presents an enigmatic scene: characters, including a man bending under the weight of an enormous fish that he is carrying. These four capitals, which are among the most beautiful sculpted works of Saintonge, are placed at a low height, which allows one to admire all the details. The following website is very well documented on these capitals: http://chapiteaux.free.fr/TXT_Saujon.html
