Église Saint-Pierre de Bredons, Romanesque church at Albepierre-Bredons, France.

This basalt stone church with slate roofing stands on a natural dyke overlooking the Alagnon valley and the town of Murat.

The Benedictine priory was established in 1074 by Guillaume de Murat and Bernard d'Henry, then connected to Moissac Abbey by Pope Urban II in 1095.

The Haute-Auvergne Museum in Saint-Flour preserves a 12th-century Romanesque walnut reliquary statue depicting Saint Peter seated on his throne.

The building, registered as a historical monument since 1840, undergoes restoration work including renovation of the framework and facades.

The monument suffered the theft of fifty precious objects in 2002, leading to the transfer of remaining pieces to the Haute-Auvergne Museum.
