Saint-Chamant - Saint-Amant

When the church, dedicated to Saint Amans de Rodez, got erected within the 12th century, it was dependent from the abbey Saint-Martin in Tulle (20kms north). It is known, that Humbaud, bishop of Limoges, consecrated a church here in 1094, but at that time the structure cannot have been completed

The tower with the sculpted portal date back to 12th century. The tower got fortified later, and so could shelter the population in case of an act of war.
