Ruins of the old Augustinian convent in the forest of Abrillac

The ruins of the old Augustinian convent of Abrillac are located in the forest of Abrillac at Beynac-et-Cazenac in the Dordogne department. Founded in the early 14th century, the Augustins established the priory of Abrillac after abandoning their church in Beynac. The priory served as a parish church until the castle chapel became the parish church.

The ruins and the soil of the priory of the old Augustinian convent in the forest of Abrillac were classified as Monuments historiques on December 5, 1984. The priory was a rectangular building, of which only a few sections of walls remain.

These walls feature trilobed windows with colonnettes. The northern wall shows the remains of a monumental chimney and an archer. The carved decor simplified toward the end of the 14th century, and the foliage disappeared from the openings.
