Attractions

Parish Church of Saint-Oren
  • Parish Church of Saint-Oren. The ditched ramparts that surround the church are evidence of the site of an earlier count's fortress. The atypical orientation of the church with the apse in the south can be explained by the fact that it is embedded in the fortress. The significant thickness of the foundation of the bell gable reveals the defensive function of the building. The fortress of Barbachen lost its strategic importance in the 14th century in favor of Rabastens-de-Bigorre and Monfaucon. In the 17th century the church was fundamentally redesigned with the elevation of the walls of the nave and the erection of the sacristy and then the construction of a canopy to protect the entrance portal from bad weather. In the interior of the church, neo-Gothic paintings from the late 19th century, an altar with a tabernacle from the end of the 17th century and a baptistery and pulpit from the 18th century are worth mentioning .
