Parish church of San Breixo de Sergude

All heritage
Sergude church

The first documentary references to this church, from 1632, already describe it as ruined. It was therefore rebuilt in the first half of the 18th century, starting with the main chapel in 1701, when the walls, vaults and whitewash of the old presbytery were renewed. Between 1729 and 1750 the new body of the church was built, with a Latin-cross plan, side chapels, main chapel and finally the tower, using Baroque techniques, materials and proportions. The interior has little decoration. Striking features are the bulky panels beside the entablature mouldings running round it, which give the building the plasticity and movement typical of the style of the time.
The façade and tower, however, follow historicist principles, with an austere, simple design and no ornament.
· Altarpieces: main altarpiece, altarpiece of the Holy Christ and altarpiece of the Souls.
· Statues: Our Lady of the Rosary, St Raymond, St Anthony of Padua, the Holy Family, St Gregory, San Breixo (St Verissimus), Christ crucified, San Roque, St Anthony the Abbot, Immaculate Conception, Sacred Heart of Jesus, St Benedict and St Michael.
