The Église Notre-Dame des Jacobins is a historical monument located in Agen, France. This 14th-century construction is situated between Rue Richard-Cœur-de-Lion and Rue Alexis-Pain. The church was originally built by the Dominican order, also known as the Jacobins, and has since become a significant part of the city's history and culture.
The Église Notre-Dame des Jacobins underwent significant expansion and elevation due to the growing success of the Dominican preaching. The builders used stone for the window mullions, the ribs and keys of the vaults, and the central circular piles. This architectural detail adds to the church's historical and aesthetic appeal.
The Église Notre-Dame des Jacobins was transformed into a parish church and reopened on March 23, 1807. Today, it serves as the exhibition center of the Museum of Fine Arts. This transformation has allowed the church to continue to be a vibrant part of the community, offering both religious services and cultural experiences.
