A prison located in the town of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, where the Nazis locked up escapees during the S.t.O. years.

Confused with the House of Bishops. Between 1383 and 1417, the city was the episcopal residence three times (great schism of the West). This building was well used as a municipal prison at the end of the 18th century and for the soldiers of the citadel garrison in the 19th century (names engraved in the doors). In the years of the S.T.O., after 1940, the Nazis locked up the fugitives there. Today, visit the disciplinary cells and the impressive underground vaulted room, with its warheads (14 m long by 9 m wide) revealing moving traces of the conditions of detention.
