Abbatiale Saint-Géraud d'Aurillac

Abbatiale Saint-Géraud d'Aurillac, Medieval abbey church in Aurillac, France.

The Saint-Geraud Abbey Church features a 77-meter bell tower from the 19th century, standing as the tallest structure in Aurillac.

Founded before 885 by Count Geraud of Aurillac, this Benedictine abbey served as a model for the establishment of the Cluny Abbey.

The church contains a chapel with frescoes depicting scenes from the Passion, commissioned by Louis III of Anjony in 1526.

Located at 9 Place Saint Geraud in Aurillac, the church remains open daily from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM for visitors.

The abbey has undergone six complete reconstructions throughout its existence, with each renovation reflecting different architectural periods.
