The history of SERAL

The history of the Société d'Editions Religieuses et d'Articles de Lourdes (Seral) has been anchored in Lourdes since 1946, when the workshop was created and located its production there.
The workshop is today the last medal striker in Lourdes.
The transmission of craftsmanship traditions remains at the heart of our identity.


We maintain excellence by evolving ancient methods with adapted modern techniques, while preserving the authenticity of our heritage.


The original will of the creators of this company of excellence was to allow pilgrims to bring back with them an object, a souvenir, a symbol of their devotion.
The history of the Seral therefore began with the creation of medals bearing the image of Our Lady of Lourdes, symbol of the Virgin who appeared to Saint Bernadette, using a palette of metals ranging from brass to gold.
