Abbey of Saint-Savin-en-Lavedan, Benedictine abbey in Saint-Savin, Hautes-Pyrénées, France.
The stone church features Romanesque architecture with a marble tomb serving as the altar and a historic organ from 1557.
Count Raymond I of Bigorre granted the abbey territory comprising eight villages in 945, establishing Saint-Jean-de-Saint-Savin as their central church.
The abbey contains granite carvings depicting the Cagots, a marginalized social group who accessed religious services through separate entrances and facilities.
The religious complex stands as a national monument since 1840, allowing visitors to examine Medieval architectural elements and mountain views.
Two major earthquakes, in 1660 and 1854, shaped the current structure, leading to restoration work directed by Prosper Mérimée.
