Origin and history

The Larressore seminary was founded on 29 April 1733 by Abbé Jean Daguerre, thanks to a gift from the local community. A small seminary with chapel was built there to welcome the priests and students. In 1739 he attracted students from all over the Basque Country, becoming a teaching place for philosophy and theology, influencing the dioceses of Bayonne, Dax and Oloron-Sainte-Marie.

In October 1792 the priests refused to take an oath had to leave the place, and the seminary was redeemed by the municipality of Larressore. It reopened in 1820, but after the law of separation of churches and the state in 1906, it became state property. During the First World War, he served as an auxiliary hospital, then was transformed into a departmental sanatorium.

This seminar was attended by numerous Basque personalities, including members of the Basque Language Academy such as Jean-Blaise Adema and Jules Moulier. The chapel was listed as a historic monument in 2005, while the former seminary was registered the same year, recognizing its heritage and cultural importance.
