Saint-Pierre Church of Passirac

The parish church of Saint-Pierre de Passirac, built in the 11th century, was a former Benedictine priory. Its Romanesque architectural decoration gives it a unique character and style.
Arcades and colonnades, carved all around the building, brighten up the monument and remind us of the importance of the church at that time. The bell tower is not of the period. It was rebuilt in the late 16th and 19th centuries.

During your visit, you should not forget to admire the capitals of the dome and the choir with their unique carved decorations. A processional banner dedicated to "The Virgin and Child" (20th century) hanging in one of the transoms is also visible. Opposite it is possible to admire a painting entitled "The Deploration of Christ".

Not far from there is the fountain of Saint-Pierre de Passirac (which most likely gave its name to the church). Its water, reputedly miraculous, was used to cure boils. The source of this fountain once flowed inside the church of Saint-Pierre.
