Church of Our Lady of the Assumption Gruissan

Notre Dame de l'Assomption
France, Gruissan
Church of Our Lady of the Assumption (Notre Dame de l'Assomption) in Gruissan is a Catholic parish church located at the foot of the Barbarossa tower, in the heart of the town of Gruissan in Aude (the Languedoc Roussillon region).
Probably built in the 13th-14th century.
The church houses a painting by Jacques Gamelin, written in 1797, which depicts St. Peter, the patron saint of fishermen. This painting was commissioned by the municipality to commemorate the thirty-two who died.
In the chapel dedicated to the Virgin, there are three wooden statues: in the center is the Madonna and Child, to the right of her is St. Joseph, and to the left is St. Dominic.
The spire of the church was the watchtower of the town.

The church is located in the historic center of Gruissan. It is located right at the foot of the dilapidated tower of the fortress, so it is very easy to find it. It has a very original architecture and interior decoration. This is a powerful fortified structure with loopholes and other defensive elements, which is typical for religious architecture in the south of France at that time. In place of the vault, you will see an inverted boat, obviously not a frequent element of decor. The color of the sea wave is present here in abundance, which once again reminds us where we are.
