The confessional in the St-Médard church in Saint-Médard-en-Jalles , a French commune in the Gironde department of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region , was created in the 18th century. In 1971 the baroque confessional was added to the list of listed objects ( Base Palissy ) in France as Monument historique .

The 2.35-meter-high and two-meter-wide confessional made of wood has carvings both as a top end (two angel heads in the middle) and in the door to the priest's area.
