Sarbazan (1,154 inhabitants in 2021; 2,244 ha) is a commune in the Landes department.

On a site located in the commune, 9,000 flints dating mainly from the Upper Palaeolithic were collected; more precisely from the Magdalenian (between 14,000 and 9,500 BC).
The village also has an Iron Age necropolis: the tumuli of the moor of the tretze pouys (about 2,600 years ago).

The church was built at the end of the 11th century on the site of a Gallo-Roman villa from which it reused part of the materials (rubble stone). This primitive building consisted of a capped nave, of which part of the south and east walls remain (the current choir), and a flat chevet which is entirely preserved and is now used as a sacristy.
Near the Saint-Pierre church and at the edge of the Castaillon stream, there are two miraculous fountains. The first is dedicated to Saint Eutrope, the second to Saint Mary of Mercy.
