Located 15 km north of Brive-la-Gaillarde, Sadroc covers 20 km ² between the valleys of Maumont Blanc and Clan, tributaries of the Corrèze. The highlight is Lafonsalade (424 m). Sadroc originates Sadran, name of a noble family from the 11th century who lived in the castle of the town now gone and replaced by a cozy farmhouse.
Sadroc châtellenie was the bishop of Limoges, landowner and lord of Sadroc. He partially delegates his powers to local lords who reciprocate the honor: Sadra and families of the barn in the Middle Ages. In the 14th century, a trial for possession and sale of the castle involves the king of France. The Bishop of Limoges is a result of this trial and direct landowner Sadroc until the Revolution. It detaches locally captains. During the wars of religion, in June 1590, Anne de Levis, Comte de la Voute and son of the Duke of Ventadour Sadroc attacked the castle, which had to go. The 18th century saw the decline of the nobility in the territory and the seizure of power by the landed bourgeoisie.
The church has a pulpit and Sadroc a communion table classified (sixteenth century.)
