History

The church of La Magdeleine was dependent on the Premonstratensian abbey of Lahonce. It is first mentioned in a document of 1328, but likely existed before that point. 

La Magdeleine later became the private chapel of the lords of Irunberri, and in 1568 was annexed to the parish church of Saint-Laurent d'Ispoure.
