A church from the 12th century, the time when this bastide was founded. Beautifully painted, it would now need a gentle renovation.

The beautiful Church Notre-Dame de l'Assomption is located right in the large square of Labastide-d'Armagnac. At the south-east corner of Place Royale, the line of porticoes surrounding the square is abruptly interrupted by the imposing tower of the church founded in the medieval period, between the 14th and 15th centuries.
