In 1117 the
Bishop of Périgueux
gave the parish of St Colombe to Charroux
Abbey whose abbot became its patron. The
parish later received, by royal nomination,
the title of priorship of the St Benoît
Order.
In 1789 the
parish St Colombe requested unity with the «
Committee » of Lalinde and in 1790 renounced
its autonomy to become the « Northern
Section » of Lalinde. Following the
Concordat (the agreement between pope and
sovereign ) St Colombe was definitively
united with the parish of Lalinde and became
a succursal chapel in 1875.
The south chapel
was renovated by the Valette de Finou family,
Seigneurs of the Landes, in the eighteenth
century.
The church nave has two bays which lead into
the transept and a chancel with a flat apse. |
