Saint-Sever Abbey Church

Classed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site as part of the Way of St James, Saint-Sever Abbey-Church, dating from the 11th and 12th centuries, is renowned for its rich, sculpted décor and its choir with six staggered apse chapels. The 77 Romanesque capitals, five marble columns, and three re-used Gallo-Roman capitals are all marvels for which this historic monument is renowned. Take a moment to admire the sculptures on its polychromatic marble capitals, before strolling for a while in the delightful cloister garden of the former Benedictine abbey. Then you can discover the treasure stored in the chapter house, with its exhibition of liturgical objects and vestments from the 17th and 18th centuries.
