Pineuilh is a Celtic name which means "art rock". In ancient texts, the name "Pinolio" comes from the Gallic "OSAB" and the Latin "pinus" and means "the clearing of pine trees."
The town is an ancient barony, which included several fiefs. Around 1074, a lord of the Falcon Barde, lived with his family a castle located on the hill known as "Cross Pineuilh". At the same time, this gentleman donated the Gothic church of "Saint-Martin de Braig" to the monks of Conques.
In 1255, the Boville, lords of Pineuilh are part of a very powerful family. They have the passage and the toll on the rivers of the region.
Archaeological excavations carried out by the INRAP, shortly before the work of the ring road in 2001-2002 revealed the remains of wooden construction, parts of horse and weapons and everyday objects (games , musical instruments, etc.)..
These findings give us important information about the "Farmer-knights" of the millennium, the transition period between the Carolingian and Capetian.
