Abbey of Saint-Maurin – Architectural history
The abbey of Saint-Maurin is an exception. Although its church has been handed over to the demolition workers, the abbey, which was not suddenly rebuilt, is still essentially present on the whole of its primitive enclosure, in the heart of the village.

Abbey of Saint-Maurin – Legend and processional songs

Mill and church ND de Ferrussac
The origins of the fortified mill of Ferrussac go back to the first centuries of our era. Indeed, the church located on the estate (Notre Dame de Ferrussac) most probably rests on the foundations of a Gallo-Roman villa, as attested by the ac ending of the name.
This fortified mill was bought by the abbot of Saint Maurin in 1424; Jean I de Boville usurped its rights and, after arbitration in 1452, kept the estate. It remained in the de Boville family and was offered in 1606 to Bertrand I d'Audevars.
Moirax
A village that has existed since antiquity according to some archaeological evidence, Moirax was a stopover for pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela during the Middle Ages. In the 11th century, in 1049, one of the first Cluniac abbeys was founded here.
It became the Cluniac priory of Sainte-Marie and its church is now dedicated to Notre-Dame de Moirax.
