Prieuré de Cayac, Medieval priory in Gradignan, France
The Priory of Cayac contains a church, hospital buildings, and a cemetery within a park crossed by the Eau Bourde river.
The religious complex began as a hospice in 1200 and transformed into a priory in 1304, receiving donations from passing pilgrims.
The priory marks a major point along the Via Turonensis pilgrimage route, connecting Paris to Santiago de Compostela through Tours and Bordeaux.
The municipality of Gradignan maintains modern accommodations for pilgrims within the restored buildings of the former religious complex.
Between 1823 and 1860, the sacred space housed an industrial glassworks facility that caused substantial damage to the church structure.
