Saint-Cyprien was born around an abbey of regular canons of Saint-Augustin which would have been built on the tomb of a hermit called Cyprian. The barbarian invasions forced the monks to surround themselves with ramparts of which the bell tower-dungeon remains a vestige.

Here are the reasons why this Church is remarkable: its stunning setting, elegant architecture and the elevation of its bell tower. Its ogival style is from the 14th century. Its shape is that of a Latin cross of perfect regularity. All the vaults are in stone, with perfect reticulated ribs. There are 7 windows. On the other hand, the building stones are extremely porous which brought a lot of moisture into the building before the problem was dealt with . There are 3 doors and 2 chapels, the one on the left is dedicated to the virgin, the one on the right to St Antoine. The painted wooden altarpiece, was restored in 1999, thanks to a gift from Madame Jacqueline Beytout. It revealed very beautiful polychrome paintings .

This building was completely rebuilt in 1745 by the Lord of the place, in atonement - it is said - of the burning of the church by its ancestors, during the wars of religion. It was restored in 1806. A wall of the old church, at the foot of the castle, is still visible, with a bay and a blinded door, dating from the 13th century.

The first Romanesque church dates back to 1143. It was given in 1199 to the Abbey of Sauve Majeure in the Gironde, by the Bishop of Périgueux. It was destroyed during the 100 years war. Only a few large stones remain at the base of the present church. The Gothic church was burnt down by the Protestants of Turenne. It was repaired at the beginning of the 17th century. It has four chapels paid for by the four co-lords of Siorac who were to serve as their tomb. Until 1900, a cemetery surrounded the church.
