Collégiale Saint-Pierre du Dorat, Romanesque collegiate church in Le Dorat, France.

Collégiale Saint-Pierre is a Romanesque church 77 meters long and 39 meters wide at the transept, built of grey granite in a Latin cross plan. Its nave rises 17 meters in five bays under a pointed barrel vault, with unusually wide and tall side aisles. The crossing sits beneath an octagonal dome 26.60 meters high, and the west portal is polylobed, showing Mozarabic influence.

The structure underwent major reconstruction between 1112 and 1170, establishing the Romanesque form visible today. It received classification as a historical monument in 1846 and has undergone restoration work since.

The town's name comes from the Scottish missionaries who founded the monastery, and the church is also called Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens, referring to the imprisonment of the apostles Peter and Paul. Since 1659, by order of the Bishop of Limoges, the Ostensions of Le Dorat have been held every seven years, suspended only once, in 1799. The relics of Saint Israel and Saint Theobald are kept in the crypt and in the chapels of the ambulatory.

The church stands in the centre of Le Dorat, 12 km north of Bellac and 48 km northwest of Limoges. The interior is notably dark, since the nave has no clerestory windows, so allow time for your eyes to adjust. A monumental twelve-step stair leads up into the nave and choir; the choir axis bends slightly to the right, a shift visible in the fourth bay of the side walls.

The gilded copper angel on the spire is 1.30 m tall and stands on a 36 cm ball set into the stone at 60 m above ground; it dates from the 13th century. The transept bell tower looks wholly conical at first glance, yet more than half its height is three barely recessed vertical storeys.
