Eglise Notre Dame de Bon Port
Listed as a Historic Monument since 1995.
Built on the site of the Rosary chapel, built in the 13th century and belonging to the parish of Olonne, construction of the church began in 1646.
In the 17th century, Les Sables d'Olonne became a major cod port and the inhabitants asked Richelieu, Bishop of Luçon, to create a parish and build a church. The first stone was laid in 1646. The church retains its Gothic appearance, but the western façade is reminiscent of the Renaissance. One of the rare examples of the Counter-Reformation.
