history

From the ninth century, individual manors were able to break out of the Duchy of Gascogne , including that of Louvigny in the 10th century. One of the first landlords, Loup-Garcia, probably gave Louvigny its name. He was famous for his participation in the founding of the powerful Abbey of Larreule near Louvigny around 995. The Vicomté of Louvigny, which comprised no less than eleven parishes, was elevated to a county in 1554. Through the marriage of Diane d'Andoins, the property passed to the Gramont family, who kept it until the French Revolution . During the Huguenot Wars , the parish church of Louvigny provided a refuge for the cathedral chapter of Lescar after Protestantism was introduced in the Béarn by Jeanne d'Albret , Queen of Navarre .

Attractions

  • Parish church dedicated to Martin of Tours . It was built in 1955 as a replacement and with the name and partly according to plans of the former parish church, which fell apart in 1952 near the cemetery in the lou Castet district and was later demolished. The single- nave is flanked by a side entrance porch on the south side, which with the long building that with slate -covered gabled roof divides. A bell gable with a wall opening for the bell completes the building. It is held in place by a buttress and has a Latin cross on its top. Inside the church there is a painting depicting Saint Marin as a bishop . A memorial plaque was put up after the inauguration of the church in 1955 with the names of the pastor, mayor, architect, contractor and stonemason who had contributed to the construction of the new church.
  • Moth of Louvigny. In the lou Castet district there is an artificial mound from the 12th or 13th century that could be the site of the castle of the lords of Louvigny. Later the Duke of Aquitaine temporarily took over the castle to defend his national borders. Traces of the eight meter high fortification are still there, such as B. Wall remains that are still over two meters high today. The former trenches, which are now filled in, were more than 30 meters deep. The time of the destruction and abandonment of the castle is not known; it subsequently served as a quarry for houses in the center of the community. Another moth, not far away and called La Tourette , is probably older than the 10th century and was therefore built at the instigation of the lord of Louvigny. The former parish church could also have been included in this complex.
