History

TO ELABORATE

  • It dated from the 6th century when it was established as Diocese of Oloron / Oloronen(sis) (Latin), without a direct predecessor.
  • It was suppressed on 29 November 1911, after the French Revolution, concordantly with the Napoleonic Concordat of 1801, its territory being merged into the Diocese of Bayonne
  • On 1909.06.22 however its title was honorarily restored and instantly united in personal union, simultaneously with that of the former Diocese of Lescar, as titles of the successor Diocese of Bayonne; neither did obtain a co-cathedral.

The Way of St James passes through Oloron going to Santiago.[1]

Notable buildings

The former Oloron Cathedral, now St Mary's Church.
  • The episcopal see of the bishops of Oloron was in Oloron Cathedral, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, in Oloron-Sainte-Marie, now in Pyrénées-Atlantiques. The former Cathedralcathedral has now reverted to a parish church, Ancienne cathédrale Sainte-Marie.
  • Another significant building is Chateau de Lamothe, dating from the early 12th century, when a Moorish fortification on the hill,[2] was destroyed as the French drove the Moorish forces from France, and rebuilt to serve as the summer residence for the bishops of Oloron, a role it filled for 600 years.[3][4]
