ABBAYE DE BOSCHAUD
Cistercian abbey, combining the architectural principles of the order with a Périgord style, classified as a historical monument in Villars.
Founded in 1154, Boschaud Abbey is one of four Cistercian abbeys in Périgord. Its architecture blends the principles of the Cistercian order and the Périgord style, with a single nave vaulted by domes on pendentives. Marked by revolts, looting and wars, it was abandoned after the French Revolution, its last abbot being Dom Pérignon in 1791. Listed as a historic monument, it has been reborn thanks to the association Les Amis de Boschaud and the communauté de communes, who organize shows and events throughout the year.
