Brantôme - Abbaye Saint-Pierre

Brantôme - Abbaye Saint-Pierre
The Benedictine Abbey of Brantôme was founded in 769 by Charlemagne, who
endowed relics of Saint Sicarius (Sicaire), one of the infants in the Massacre of the Innocents. The abbey got looted and destroyed by Norman invaders in 848 and 857.

The abbey was rebuilt end of the 10th century - and again end of the Hundred Years' War. The whole ensemble was restored by disputed Paul Abadie in the 19th century. The portal of the abbey church.
