history
Archaeological finds show that the fertile plateau between the Petit Lées and Lasset rivers was settled as early as 4,000 BC. Chr. There were pottery shards , arrowheads, and about a dozen burial mounds found. The Chemin de Saint-Pé , a prehistoric shepherd's path, contributed to the foundation of the village. Next to the parish church, in the Laspoudges district , and in the south of the center of the municipality, traces of settlement in Gallo-Roman times have been discovered. The village was first mentioned in the records in the 12th century and developed around the parish church, which was built in the late 11th or early 12th centuries. In the 1385 census of the Béarn, 27 houses were counted and Sévignacq was part of the Bailliage of Pau. A lay monastery , which was subordinate to the Viscount of Béarn, was part of it. Arnauld de Desast had in 1070 the manorial held, later they went to the family d'Autaure, around 1620 to Catherine de Gramont, Countess of Lauzun and mistress of the French King Henry IV. , Who was buried in the parish church of Sévignacq.

Attractions
Parish Church of Saint-Pierre
The church dedicated to the Apostle Peter is the oldest Romanesque church in Béarn and has been classified as a Monument historique since February 5, 2004 .
It was built at the end of the 11th or beginning of the 12th century. Your nave , which measures approx. 30 m × 7 m, contains a main and a side aisle. The western facade is emphasized by a large bell gable , which gives the church a defensive character. The two large round arches in which the bells are protected and the roughly hewn stones give it a severe appearance.
In the 16th century the naves were enlarged towards the west and the bell gable was built. Restorations took place in the 19th century.
The entrance portal on the south side was created around 1150 and has remained unchanged since then. A project in the 1930s to sell the portal and replace it with a modern one did not materialize. It resembles the portals of the Sainte-Marie Cathedral in Oloron-Sainte-Marie and the Sainte-Foy Church in Morlaàs and was actually made by the same sculptors , as the stonemasons show. The portal protrudes around one meter from the south facade and extends over a width of 5.30 m. The garment is decorated with three archivolts . On the outer one, eleven personalities can be seen, which illustrate various vices, the gluttony, the lust, the lust, the laziness, the avarice, the frivolity, the lustfulness, the vanity, the drunkenness. A caryatid can be seen on the left outer column . The ornamentation of the capitals of the columns shows the themes that were often taken up in the architecture of the 12th century. The capitals of the two outer columns are embellished with foliage . On the left, the second capital shows a human head, the third two eagles and two quadrupeds. Riders can be seen on the capitals on the right. Unlike most of the tympana in the Béarn, this one contains an iconography . Christ sits in the center and hands the keys to St. Peter on the left, and a scroll to St. Paul on the right . This symbolism is to be understood as an answer to the vices indicated on the archivolts. The lintel rests on two brackets that are chiseled out with grimaces.
On the opposite side is a small entrance that was intended for Cagots , a group of people who were discriminated against in Spain and France from the 13th to well into the 19th century for reasons that are still unknown and largely excluded from social life. It is not the only evidence of exclusion in Sévignacq either. A holy water from sandstone on which the year "1648" is engraved, was reserved for Cagots in order for all believers should not be contaminated by the holy water.
On the north facade there are two narrow windows with lintels made of monoliths , the apse contains a window opening with an arch with three roller bars . The side aisle has its own apse with a small arched window that lets light into the interior. It is separated from the main nave by arcades, the borders of which are decorated with double rows of diamond-coated stones.
In 1915 two glass windows , the work of the master glass painter Pierre Arcencam from Pau, were installed. They represent Jeanne de Valois and John Chrysostom .
The reredos of the main altar are adapted to the curve of the semicircular choir . In the background, two double columns and a pediment frame an oil painting from the second half of the 17th century. It measures 2.64 m in height and 1.86 m in width and shows the crucified Christ with Mary and Saint Peter on both sides. Two life-size statues of Saints Peter and Paul stand in indicated niches to the left and right of the painting. They are probably works by the artist Antoine Giraudy and date from the mid-18th century. On the door of the tabernacle is the Lamb of God shown, above a triangle symbolizing the Trinity . The wings of the tabernacle are decorated in bas-relief with the scene of the Annunciation with Mary on the left and the Archangel Gabriel on the right. Both reliefs are flanked by plant tendrils.
A Madonna from the second half of the 18th century stands in a niche on the wall of the nave. It measures 1.60 m in height and is made of gilded wood. It originally comes from a church in Oloron-Sainte-Marie or from one of the neighboring parishes. Noticeable is the lack of an attribute in her right hand.
The church's pulpit dates from the late 15th or early 16th century and is a rare example of this period in the Béarn. There is evidence that it originated in Spain that has yet to be verified. It is made of oak and walnut wood. The pentagonal pulpit basket impresses with its gilded decor and reliefs, with blind arcades , plant scrollwork , rosettes , geometric motifs and irises . The pulpit is lower than originally attached to the wall and no longer has its staircase, wall panel and a possible sound cover .
Former lay monastery called House Bataille
The de Gramont family owned the lay monastery of Sévignacq in the 17th century before it passed into the hands of the Bataille family in the 18th century. Jean de Bataille de Castetnau, landlord and abbot of the lay monastery, built the house around 1782.
