The east aisle features a ribbed crossing, with pedestals resting on Gothic bases. Mullioned windows and polygonal chevet. South aisle separated from nave by three semicircular arches.

The church of Toulouzette is dedicated to Saint Quitterie, patron saint of Gascony. Her cult is very widespread in the Landes. The saint is said to have died beheaded around 478 in Aire-sur-Adour, where she is buried. The legend says that when her head touched the ground, a fountain sprang up. This church dates from the 16th century. If the date of construction of the primitive church is unknown, we know that it was destroyed by the Protestants in 1569 and then rebuilt. With its flat apse, its single nave made of pebbles, its porch made of sandstone and pebbles and its framed portal, the architecture of the church of Sainte-Quitterie is characterized by its sobriety. The imperial bell tower topped by a bell tower would be later since this particular form of roofing developed in the 18th century. The baptismal chapel opens with a beautiful semi-circular arcade and flat bricks.

Built in the XVIIIth century, the church of Saint-Etienne de Souprosse is edited in elongated plan. It has a single nave and a semi-circular chevet.
