Abbey of Pébrac, Medieval abbey in Pébrac, France.
The religious complex stands above the Desges valley, featuring a church with Gothic vaults, chapels, and an armorial bell tower from different construction periods.
Founded in 1062 by Saint Pierre de Chavanon from Langeac, the monastery received abbey status in 1097 under Bernard I de Chasnac's leadership.
The abbey treasury contains a 12th-century embroidered silk cope, a 15th-century cross, a 17th-century chalice, and a 17th-century lectern.
While the convent buildings remain closed to visitors, the botanical garden of the priory offers year-round access to the public.
The kitchen preserves a carved sink and fireplace, while the great hall displays a French-style ceiling and dining room decorated with stucco.
