Cylindrical column resting on four steps and ending in a plain cone, surmounted by a cross. A door opens above the second seat and gives access to the interior of the lantern. A small cornice, projecting from the top of the shaft and adorned with carved stars, separates the column from its ridge pierced with small windows.

Saint Martin's Church, Mornac
Highlight • Other
This building, known from 1110, was rebuilt for the first time around the middle of the 12th century and has undergone other transformations which have modified its original appearance.
The history of the church reveals to us that two priests left a memory in the life of the parish: Jean Vergereau named in 1661, died on May 2, 1708 and was buried in the sanctuary; François Faunier du Plessis, who arrived in Mornac on January 18, 1778, was deported to Ile Madame. He died there on September 2, 1794 following ill-treatment inflicted by the revolutionaries. A commemorative plaque was awarded to him on April 28, 1929.
The portal is framed by two fonts dating from the 17th century. A coat of arms decorates the first floor.
The bell tower has two bells. The oldest dates from 1564 or 1584 and the second dates back to 1724.
Some stones carved or engraved by the Compagnons du Tour de France, vestiges of these restorations, appear in the walls of the village.
The sacristy has a paved floor made up of these small stones called
"Dent de Loup" or "Cœurs de demoiselles".
