Romanesque building located in Aubazine, whose abbey church houses an original composition of the years 1250-1260.

This building in Romanesque architecture is in a Cistercian sobriété. Built in stone stone stone, it was built in the second half of the th century. Remaining only three spans in nine, it must be imagined that the building was before the mid th century. Its transept is particularly wide with dépassants cross and a simple chorus in apse. Its single-style bell tower, with a square base surmounted by an octagonal floor, draws attention. Note, the staircase leading to the abbey dormitory and the very rare and famous stained glass stained glass windows, some of which are original. The abbey houses an original composition, of the years 1250-1260, the limestone tomb of Etienne d'Obazine (died in 1159) combining a lie and an architectural structure of the hunting-reliquary type. The furniture is remarkable: the oldest liturgical cupboard in France (xii), a virgin of pity in polychrome limestone, a fresco of a Virgin of Pity and the remains of a tomb (fifteenth); a hunting in champlevé Limousin émail of the XIII. The stalls today scattered in the building are famous for the curious sculpted heads.
