history

In 1009 the Benedictine monastery Saint-Orens was built on a Way of St. James . The copial book of the monastery names the Viscount von Montaner Odon-Dat as the founder . Numerous donations made her wealthy in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, so that she had a considerable estate at the beginning of the thirteenth century. In the middle of the same century, the Benedictines founded the bastide of Larreule south at the foot of the monastery at the same time as those of Uzan and Mazerolles . This concentrated the widely dispersed population and gave them protection. In 1385 Larreule had 32 households, in 1549 there were still 31 households. The monastery was destroyed in the Huguenot Wars in 1569 by Protestant troops led by Gabriel de Lorges , Count of Montgomery, and was abandoned by the monks in 1740 . At the beginning of the 19th century, the monastic buildings were demolished and parts were given to American museums. The monastery church is now the parish church of the community.

Saint-Esselin spring

It is located on the road to Monségur, the former Way of St. James. According to legend, Saint Esselin, Bishop of Sutri, was on a pilgrimage . To give water to the thirsty pilgrims and animals, he rammed his rod into the ground and suddenly a spring began to gush. A little later he died in Larreule and was buried in the monastery.
