History
The church of Saint-Amand of Tayrac is a building of Romanesque origin from the 12th century with a square chevet, profoundly modified in the 16th century by the addition of two lateral chapels forming a transept and the modification of the chevet. Also modified in the 17th and 19th centuries. The church retains many interesting elements from each period. The choir, the transept crossing and the chapels are vaulted with ribs. The north chapel bears the arms of the Sorbier, lords of Tayrac.
