A former Benedictine monastery partly listed as a Historic Monument, the priory of Chanteuges was built in the 11th century. Located on a basaltic rock, at an altitude of 540 m, it was once the dependency of the abbey of La Chaise Dieu.
Decorated with a dwelling, a chapel and a pottery in the 15th century, the priory of Chanteuges became at the same time the residence of the abbots of La Chaise Dieu. Little affected by the Wars of Religion, it was sold as national property at the end of the 18th century and saw its chapel transformed into a fodder store.
Accessible by an entrance located to the north, it reveals a logis-porch with covered gallery on the first floor. Visitors can also discover the cloister and its semicircular entrance door. The Sainte-Anne chapel is also one of the jewels of the remains still visible. Its entrance door reveals a flamboyant Gothic style decor, including a representation of Saint Michael slaying the dragon.
