Église Saint-Sardos

Saint-Sardos church is a superb medieval church dating back to the 12th century, when the priory of Saint-Sardos was part of the Sarlat abbey. A fortified town grew up around the monastery. During the battles of the 14th and 16th centuries, the priory and its church were devastated and partly ruined. In the 19th century, the church was replaced by a new building, incorporating some of the old features such as carved capitals and the portal, a striking architectural feature of the building.
