  The former abbey church of Saint-Martial is one of the most important religious buildings in Périgord. It was declared a historic monument in 1956. A first abbey is historically mentioned before the year 800. However, today's building no longer contains any traces or elements from this period or from subsequent buildings. The core elements of the current building date back to the 12th century and the alterations that took place over time between the 14th and 17th centuries.

  Beautiful church with very interesting architecture. The vaults have been removed in the nave, leaving the framework visible. To the left of the choir, you can see the remains of the first building. Some traces of paint on the right of the choir. You can find some informative brochures at the entrance to the nave.

  Very beautiful church which has a really interesting history: It is from this place that the myth of the PILGRIM'S STICK started. Opposite the church flows a spring that wants to be saving with the power to heal. To access it you have to meander towards the small village in which it is located but if you can do it do not hesitate because it is a superb place. Facing the church you have a restaurant where you can have lunch on the terrace. Finally in front of the church you can notice a small underground passage.
