Collégiale Saint-Barthélemy de Pimbo

About

La collegie Saint-Barthélemy de Pimbo is a former collegie located in the commune of Pimbo, in the French department of Landes and the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The first records of the building date back to the 11th century, but the local legend attributes the foundation of the institution to Charlemagne. The oldest parts of the building were built in the 12th century.

The entire church, as well as a Romanesque hall under the presbytery adjacent to the church, were listed as historical monuments in 1998. Many of the objects that are preserved there are also classified as historical monuments. The church is a stage on Via Podiensis or Route du Puy of the pilgrimage of Santiago de Compostela.
