Notre-Dame-des-Pauvres Church, Aubrac

Highlight • Religious Site

Where treeless pastures dominate Aubrac today, a dark forest used to cover the land. For pilgrims the way through the mountains was very dangerous. Robbers hid in the woods, fog and blizzards threatened the hiker. The Flandrian Count Adalard escaped on his pilgrimage to Santiago here barely death. Around 1120 he founded the hospice Notre-Dame-des-Pauvres of Aubrac. The monastic community dedicated itself to the care of the poor and the sick and, above all, passing pilgrims.
The monastic community grew rapidly, donations and legacies increased wealth. Accordingly, the desire of others was aroused to incorporate the monastery. In 1700, a fire destroyed large parts of the plant. The French Revolution did the rest. Today, only the church and the Tour of the Anglais have been preserved from their heyday.
