Caniac-du-Causse - Saint-Martin

Caniac-du-Causse  -  Saint-Martin
The Church belonged to the Abbey of Marcilhac, possibly as early as the 10th century.

According to legend, Saint Namphaise, a hermit who retired to Quercy after becoming a baron to Charlemagne, was buried there. His tomb is said to be in the church's crypt. He became famous for the miracles that occurred there, particularly the healing of epileptics.

The church was completely rebuilt in the neo-Romanesque style between 1883 and 1886, while the Romanesque crypt was preserved.
