La Pannonie

La Pannonie is an old village of the Lot region, between Gramat and Rocamadour, situated since the 19th century in the commune of Couzou.

In order to be present near the famous medieval city of pilgrimage, these monks received fields and villages by donations and sellings.

The La Pannonie cistercian farm was built during the 13th century, near the ruined village of Saint-Circ (or Saint-Cyr d'Alzou).

Around the end of the 12th century, the Saint-Cyr oppidum was attacked by bands of bandits, forcing the lord and his family to flee from.

After her farms in the Alix, in Calès, in Couzou, in Carlucet, near Seniergues, in Bonnecoste, cistercian monks built their last foundation in La Pannonie.

During that period, the river Dordogne was a frontier with English Aquitaine, and pillages by marauding mercenary armies were a frequent risk for people.

Very happy in their peaceful castle of La Pannonie, the Vidal de Lapize suffered the French revolutionary period because of the emigration of Antoine and his sons.
