The Brax chapel to Landiras
The Brax chapel was built in the 13th century, although it is not possible to identify its owner with certainty. Parish church or chapel? To this day, the sources remain silent on this subject.
The indication “parish of Brax” or “Brachs” appears in 1307. Until the end of the century, it was dependent on the archpriesthood of Cernès and paid tithes to the Collège Saint-André in Bordeaux.
By the 15th century, there was no mention of it in any ancient texts or account books. However, in the archives of the diocese of Bordeaux, a “chapel of Lerre” is mentioned in Landiras. Is this Brax?
From the beginning of the 17th century until 1763, it was under the control of the priory of Bardenac and the Society of Jesus, which undertook conversion work. At the time of the French Revolution, it was bought by Joachim de Chalup, who converted it into a farm, before it was abandoned for good.
