Church of Santa María la Mayor de Sargentes

Monument · Sargentes de la Lora, Páramos, Burgos

The parish church of the municipal capital, one of six churches shared among the villages of the municipality along with those of Ayoluengo, Ceniceros, San Andrés de Montearados and Valdeajos, deep in the páramo of la Lora. It is a Renaissance church with a single nave and a side chapel, stone star-ribbed arches and a Gothic vault; the doorway is also Renaissance, and the rectangular apse is reinforced with buttresses. The tower, tall and square in plan, has sixteen openings and holds four bells, the oldest cast in 1668 and the most recent in 2023, when the roof was also restored.
