Moirax - Notre-Dame

Moirax - Notre-Dame
In 1049, Guillaume Arnaud, lord of Moirax, donated land to Cluny Abbey to found a Benedictine priory here, where a 9th-century church existed. Pierre de Moirax, the founder's son, was the first prior. The construction of the current church was started around 1060 and spanned for about a century. The priory is located on the heights of the Garonne Valley, not far from Agen, on the way to Santiago de Compostela.

The church is about 50m long.
