Abbey of Saint-Pierre de Larreule

Upon arriving at this location, known as Barba-podii, they occupied an old chapel dedicated to Saint-Pierre, owned by a cleric named Garsias. Here, they formed a community that would become known as Regula, whose first known abbot was Centule. During the 12th century, the church was built, and between the 11th and 14th centuries, the abbey experienced a period of prosperity, followed by a time of decline. It suffered significant damage during the Wars of Religion (1569), during which much of the 12th-century medieval church was lost, along with the cloister and other facilities. Following restoration, the abbey remained active until its suppression in 1773.
