Historique
Prieuré bénédictin fondé vers 1060 par saint Robert, fondateur de la Chaise-Dieu, sur des terres données par son disciple, Raoul Passereau, ancien troubadour. Au 14e siècle, le monastère était l'un des plus importants parmi les établissements de la Chaise-Dieu. Au 15e siècle, son influence diminue et, au 18e siècle, n'y reste plus qu'un moine. En 1746, un brevet royal décrète la suppression du prieuré. En 1790, bâtiments et biens sont vendus comme biens nationaux.£Vers 1597, la chapelle du prieuré fut incendiée et les moines se servirent alors de celle de Manants. L'édifice est constitué d'éléments appartenant à différentes époques : portail du 15e, voûte refaite après 1695. En 1894, le décor peint est réalisé par M. Chabourlat, artiste décorateur à Clermont. Chapelle désaffectée.

History
Benedictine priory founded around 1060 by Saint Robert, founder of La Chaise-Dieu, on lands given by his disciple, Raoul Passereau, a former troubadour. In the 14th century, the monastery was one of the most important among the establishments of La Chaise-Dieu. In the 15th century, its influence diminished and, in the 18th century, only one monk remained there. In 1746, a royal patent decreed the suppression of the priory. In 1790, buildings and goods were sold as national property. Around 1597, the chapel of the priory was burned and the monks then used that of Manants. The building is made up of elements belonging to different periods: 15th-century doorway, vault redone after 1695. In 1894, the painted decoration was executed by M. Chabourlat, a decorative artist in Clermont. Chapel deconsecrated.
