The church was rebuilt in the century and restored many times over the years
The Saint-Sour abbey church was founded in the 6th century by Saint Sour, then sacked by the Normans and destroyed. Rebuilt at the end of the 10th century, destroyed again during the Hundred Years' War, rebuilt again in the 15th century and restored over time, all that remains of the abbey building today is the church. Climb the stairs and you'll discover a 14th-century recumbent tomb and, inside, a 19th-century rose window. Every summer at 10pm, a video mapping show, "les nuits de l'imaginaire", transforms the façade to the delight of the public.

Terrasson est une magnifique ville avec sa belle église, ses fortifications, les petites rues et ruelles bordées de commerces et d’artisans.
L’Eglise abbatiale Saint Sour se trouve en hauteur au centre de la vieille ville avec un panorama extraordinaire sur la Vézère et les environs du Périgord. Apres 10 ans de restauration on peut admirer à ce jour ce magnifique monument. Très belle architecture avec de splendides vitraux et de splendides peintures et sculptures. A visiter.
