Chapelle des Manants

In the early Middle Ages, Robert, founder of the Chaise-Dieu abbey, had a priory built on the right bank of the Dordogne. The abbey flourished from the 11th to the 13th century, with 16 monks. However, it was sacked around 1597 by the Huguenots.
Today, all that remains of the priory is part of the surrounding wall, the large vaulted hall, the base of the keep and the chapel of the Manants. The latter was built outside the walls for the surrounding population. It served as a parish church, succeeding the church of Saint Martin further up the plateau.
Every summer, the chapel hosts exhibitions and concerts.
