Abbey of Saint-Pierre Mozac, Medieval abbey in Mozac, France
Saint-Pierre Abbey features a Gothic architectural style with dark Volvic stone walls contrasting with light lime mortar between the stones.
The monastery, founded in the 7th century, experienced reconstruction after a severe earthquake damaged its Romanesque structure in the 15th century.
The interior houses carved capital stones exhibiting detailed Roman art along with two shrines containing relics of Saint Austremoine and Saint Calmin.
Located near Riom and Clermont-Ferrand, the former monastery now functions as the main church of Mozac and includes an on-site museum.
The abbey contains one of the largest medieval Limoges enamel reliquaries in existence, dedicated to preserving the remains of Saint Calmin.
