    Classified as a Historic Monument since 1840, the abbey church of Saint-Chef is a reference work in France in terms of Romanesque art: typical architecture of the 10th century, Roman-Byzantine frescoes with exceptional conservation, medieval decorations.

    The main legacy of the former abbey of Saint-Chef, the abbey church bears witness through its monumental dimensions to the importance of this site in the Middle Ages. It was built in the 11th century on the foundations of an old church.

    It is of the purest Romanesque style, apart from its portal which is Gothic in style. It was saved from the ravages of time thanks to Prosper Mérimée who classified it in the first inventory of Historical Monuments in 1840. Since then, the abbey church has been able to benefit from a conservation and sanitation program.
