About the location

Le Prieuré d'Allichamps

Allichamps, 18200 Bruère-Allichamps

Cher
Centre-Val de Loire

This building merges the Romanesque and Gothic styles, being part of the list of historical monuments since 1926\. During the 12th century, the priory was attached to the abbey of Plaimpied. The choir is rebuilt according to the Benedictine plan, including an apse surrounded by two apses, forming a Latin cross with the transept. The careful layout, the opulence of the building and the expertise demonstrated in the creation of the capitals and modillons make it a remarkable jewel.
