40190 Arthez-d'Armagnac
In Arthez, the Church of Saint John the Baptist is situated at a crossroads. Built in the 13th century, it was fitted with a brick defence tower featuring arrow slits in the 15th century. In the 19th century, it was fitted with vaulted ceilings, complemented by a semi-circular apse and a large porch, above which the town hall has been established. Despite these alterations, it retains some remarkable ancient features: 14th- and 16th-century murals, traces of a funeral bier, an 18th-century carved wooden entrance door depicting Saint John the Baptist, and a beautiful painted coat of arms in the western gallery. The marble high altar, decorated with gilded wooden appliqué motifs and dating from the 19th century, also bears an inscription. Running alongside the church, the Domaine d’Ognoas walking trail links vineyards, forests and farmland, passing by the Étang de la Gaube and its old mill.
