Église de Saint-Nectaire, Romanesque church in Saint-Nectaire, France.

The Église de Saint-Nectaire is a Romanesque church in the Auvergne region that rises high on Mount Cornadore. Inside, approximately 103 carved capitals display biblical scenes and local religious motifs throughout the space.

Begun around 1080, the church was built mainly between 1146 and 1178, when monks of La Chaise-Dieu Abbey received the estate from Count William VII of Auvergne and set up a priory. It was listed as a historical monument in 1840. In 1794 the towers and bell tower were destroyed; architect Louis-Clémentin Bruyerre restored them around 1874.

The church keeps the reliquary of Saint Baudimus, a companion of Saint Nectaire in the 4th-century evangelisation of Auvergne. The building itself, with its ambulatory choir and radiating chapels, is a pilgrim church, though records of pilgrimage to these relics are lacking. The name Saint-Nectaire honours the missionary buried on Mont Cornadore.

The church stands on the Mont Cornadore above the upper town of Saint-Nectaire-le-Haut, about 30 km southwest of Clermont-Ferrand. The west facade has a semi-circular six-step stair leading to the narthex. Interior restoration carried out in three phases from 2006 is complete, so the nave, choir and ambulatory can be visited.

The treasury keeps the reliquary of Saint Baudimus, a companion of Saint Nectaire during the 4th-century evangelisation of Auvergne. No pilgrimage to these relics is documented; only the building and this shrine testify to the cult. A carved capital in the choir, known as C12, names a certain Ranulfo, possibly a founder.
