Tips

Lemmi alias Schlumpf

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.

The Notre-Dame-des-Pauvres church is a church dating from the end of the 12th century, located in France in the village of Aubrac (commune of Saint-Chély-d'Aubrac), in the department of Aveyron in Occitanie region 1. Located at an altitude of 1310 meters, the church is one of the vestiges of the old Aubrac domerie, with the English tower and one of the buildings of the former poor man's hospital.
