THE CHURCH OF SAINT XANTIN

Built of local granite and sandstone, on the left bank of the Corrèze, very close to the river, the church of Saint-Xantin combines Romanesque and Gothic styles. The five-sided apse and the two apsidioles, which frame it, are attached to the transept. The nave is Gothic, as is the facade whose door is decorated with capitals of foliage and volutes. Inside, the funerary litre and the sculpted capitals, one of which represents the Annunciation, are noteworthy. The buildings of the former Saint-Xantin priory are classified as Historic Monuments.
