Eglise Saint-Pierre de Josse

The church of Montfort-en-Chalosse carries traces of construction of several eras and styles. The date of its foundation could be dated back to the 12th century. It is listed in its entirety in the Supplementary Inventory of Historical Monuments. The original building was Romanesque. The nave and the bell tower, both with very thick walls nearly 2m ????, date from that time. The church was enlarged during the Gothic period. Many changes were also made in the 17th and 18th centuries. The simple organs date from the 17th century. Behind the high altar, you will discover the historized church marquee which deserves attention. The church is part of the discovery circuit of the Bastide of Montfort (point 5). A path of 656 yards in the woods will lead you to the fountain of a hundred steps. As you take the steps, check out the circuit map and you will arrive in the village.
