History
The village of Lherm
Lherm, a charming village in the Lot department (Occitanie), has a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. Thanks to the
presence of iron ore in the surrounding hills, Lherm grew into an important center for ironworking from the 14th century onwards.
The construction of several iron mills brought employment, prosperity, and craftsmanship to the area. Beneath the town hall lies a small museum that tells the story of the village’s history.
A visit to the Église Notre-Dame-de-L’Assomption is not to be missed. This village church, of Romanesque origin, houses a beautiful Baroque altarpiece and many details that reflect Lherm’s rich past.
Even today, the village retains its authentic atmosphere of peace and history.
Bar à Trucs
On the village square, you can enjoy a drink and/or the daily menu at Bar à Trucs, where local beer from the nearby brewery are served — the perfect place to experience village life in Lherm. The local bands regularly play live music here during the summer months, creating a great atmosphere, and there are plenty of opportunities to dance.
