The Galinières bridge, in full, as delimited in red on the plan annexed to the decree, contained in the cadastre section ZB uncadaster: inscription by order of 10 June 2024
Origin and history
The bridge of Galinières is a building located on the creek of the Serre, in the hamlet of Galinières, on the commune of Pierrefiche (Aveyron, Occitanie region). This monument, inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 10 June 2024, is fully protected, according to the boundaries specified in the official documents. It is closely linked to the former monastic barn of Galinières, also classified, as well as its annexes and remains, such as the southeast turret and portions of the wall of enclosure.
The location of the bridge is indicated with an accuracy considered "passable" (note 5/10), and its GPS coordinates place it near the Vimenet road. Owned by the Aveyron department, this bridge is part of a larger heritage complex, including medieval elements and monastic structures. No information is available on its accessibility to the public or its current tourist functions (visits, accommodation).
The available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, underline its association with the castle of Galinières (former monastic barn) and its remains, but do not specify its period of construction or the specific historical events related to it. The recent inscription (2024) suggests a late recognition of its heritage value, in a context where the rural and religious monuments of Aveyron are receiving increasing attention for their preservation.
