The Last Judgment cave

Highlight • Other

Originally part of the Benedictine abbey was built in the cliff, this is pierced by a dozen caves, which were used as houses, places to live, roast pigeons and even as a roast salmon aquaculture. In one of the caves there is a source of miraculous virtues dedicated to Saint-Sapalo, whose relics were offered to the monks by Charlemagne and which are now kept in the abbey.
The largest of the caves contains two monumental bas-reliefs, this is the cave called the Last Judgment.

Brantôme Benedictine Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

The Benedictine abbey of Brantôme, built on the banks of the Dronne, is one of the most important religious sites in Périgord. Initially built in the rock, in a troglodyte fashion, it houses impressive caves, which can be visited.

The abbey church, where religious services still take place, is topped by a Romanesque bell tower from the 11th century, which is among the oldest in France.
