St. Michel's church is Christianity.

St. Michel's church is located on the Garonne River at the southern end of the old city, facing Canterlop Square. This church was built in the14th century. Together with the church of San Andreas, it is the representative of Gothic architecture in Bordeaux.

The most striking thing about this church is the St. Michel Tower, which was built in15th century and renovated in 1865. This 374-foot-tall tower is the tallest Gothic steeple in Germany. When you climb to the top of the tower, you can enjoy the scenery of Bordeaux and overlook the Atlantic Ocean when the weather is clear. The bell tower is located in the center of Canteloup Square in front of the church, and it is the pointer of Bordeaux.

Architectural features:

Compared with St. Peter's Cathedral in the Vatican, St. Michel's Cathedral is completely another kind of sacredness, calm, serene, simple and vigorous. Being in it, all impetuousness will vanish. Perhaps only in this way can the priests concentrate on their practice, and only in this way can they attract believers from all directions to make a pilgrimage to the mountains regardless of the danger of being swallowed up by quicksand and swept away by the tide.

At the top of the church bell tower, the archangel Saint Michel holds a sword and spreads his wings to guard the land of Normandy. In biblical stories, he is the archangel guarding the entrance to heaven. He was very brave and defeated Satan. He can weigh people's souls and distinguish good from evil. He led people into heaven and protected them from the temptation of evil spirits.
