    Although partially ruined, there remains a large number of capitals with biblical evocations still in good condition. The rise in what was the bell tower offers a panorama of the surroundings and a view of the remains of the site very appreciable.

    In 1079, the Benedictine abbot Gérard de Corbie and about ten monks and knights founded Notre-Dame de La Sauve-Majeure in the large forest (in Latin Silva Major) of the Entre-deux-Mers.
    The support of the dukes of Aquitaine and the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela favored a rapid boom. At its peak in the 12th and 13th centuries, the abbey had about a hundred monks.
    The Hundred Years' War precipitated its decline.
