Le Dorat, Historic commune in Haute-Vienne, France
Stone buildings and medieval structures line the streets of this northern Haute-Vienne commune, centered around the Collegiate Church.
The town experienced significant damage during the 1356 siege by the Prince of Wales and the European religious wars from 1524 to 1648.
The Romanesque Collegiate Church of Saint-Pierre, dating from the 11th century, stands as a central monument of religious architecture.
Local events include horse racing from June through August, a national horse show in September, and multiple seasonal markets.
The name of the town stems from a golden angel statue positioned at the top of the bell tower.
