Église des Pénitents - Chapelle des Augustins
Dating from the 14th and 15th century, the chapel of the Augustins, called the church of the Penitents, was the annex to the church of Marnhac, too far from the residence of the inhabitants.
The building bears the arms of Bonne de Berri, Countess of Armagnac and those of Guillemot de Solages, adviser to the Count of Armagnac. To visit it, take the door on the street side of the Town Hall
The church contains gilded wooden reliquaries, a pietà, and above all a very beautiful triptych from the 16th century, a masterpiece of flamboyant gothic art in carved wood. Attributed to itinerant Flemish artists, it represents the adoration of the Magi in its centre, circumcision and presentation in the Temple on the two painted panels. It can be seen during guided tours for groups, all year round by reservation, or for individuals, in July and August during guided tours of the city, organised by the Tourist Office.
