Cloister built in the middle of the 11th century, a unique Romanesque masterpiece in Auvergne, with capitals decorated with plant motifs.
This cloister is a Romanesque masterpiece, unique in Auvergne. Its capitals are mostly decorated with plant motifs, and some feature symbolic anthropomorphic figures. They evoke the 7 deadly sins. We recommend a guided tour (about an hour) to better understand what led Robert de Turlande, founder of the Chaise-Dieu abbey, to choose this magnificent site for a small priory of nuns in the 11th century.
