In his description of the Canton d'Eygurande published in the Bulletin de la Société des lettres, sciences et arts de la Corrèze (tome 15, 1893: 372-390) F. Longy writes that the original monastery, after which the place was named, was probably destroyed between the 7th and the 10th century, and no trace of it has survived; a priory church here, which Longy reckons dated to the 11th or 12th century, "eoman pur", was annexed to the parish of Merlines [chapel of ease?]. [NB: we have no information on the font of the 11th-12th century priory church here].
