"Just eight kilometres from the Lascaux caves in a valley surrounded by woodlands, the village of Saint-Amand-de-Coly is listed as one of the""Most Beautiful Villages in France"". At its centre is the most incredible fortified church of the Périgord. We owe its existence to Amand, a hermit who evangelized the region in the 6th century. An Augustinian monastery was then founded, and this impressive building began to take shape in the 12th century under the abbacy of Guillaume, the earliest known abbot. Learn all about the history of this fascinating place through an informative circuit. Historical and architectural panels are dotted around the church and ramparts, and botanical and folkloric panels can be found along the woodland path.

The building was visibly redesigned in its western part, both on the façade (14th-15th century) and on the portal, some decorative elements of which evoke the 16th century. The priory disappeared at an unknown time. It is a rectangular building with a slate roof, a single nave, a flat chevet and a western portal flanked by a bailey. A small one-bay bell tower-wall punctuates the west façade. The west portal with three scrolls seems to be the result of several alterations. In the Gothic period, the Romanesque portal was rebuilt with reused capitals; then a sculpted decoration was made in the 16th century on the first scroll.
