Abbaye de Saint-Maurin

The construction of the abbey of Saint Maurin dates from the end of the 11th century, following its affiliation to the abbey of Moissac and the Benedictine order. This large monastic complex swarmed with numerous churches and priories in the surrounding area, as many possessions that showed its influence and importance within a radius of 20 kilometres. Ruined then restored several times during the Hundred Years' War and during the Wars of Religion, it was during the Revolution that the buildings were sold in lots. Today, one can still admire the choir of the former abbey church as well as two chapels, the cloister, the monastery buildings, the abbey castle and its gardens.
