Prieuré de Redon-Espic, Medieval priory in Castels et Bézenac, France
The Redon-Espic Priory features a single-nave church covered with stone slabs and maintains its original 12th-century monastic architectural design.
Founded in the 12th century, this Benedictine priory connected to Sarlat Cathedral underwent abandonment in the 18th century and became municipal property.
Archaeological excavations in 2006 revealed precise dating of the church structure, contributing to understanding religious architecture in medieval Dordogne.
The municipality initiated restoration work in 2007 for the church building, followed by roof repairs completed in 2017.
The church building served as a sheep shelter before local authorities recognized its historical value and began preservation efforts in 1856.
