History

A priory dependant on the Premonstratensian abbey of La Castelle, it was likely founded in the 13th century; the earliest architectural remains on the site date to that period. The priory underwent major reconstruction work in the mid-18th century.

The priory of Lannes was suppressed in 1790. The site is today in private hands, and is known as the Château de La Grangerie.
