A very large treasure in thin gilded copper plate, embossed, chased, stamped, studded and decorated with enamels.

The church houses two exceptional pieces for which Ambazac is renowned: a shrine and a dalmatic, inherited from the treasures of Grandmont Abbey. The remarkable shrine (late 12th century) is a very large work, made of thin sheets of gilded copper, decorated with champlevé enamels, 300 stone cabochons and glass beads. The dalmatic, a liturgical vestment, is said to have been worn by Saint Stephen and given as a gift by Matilda, wife of German Emperor Henry V.

Ambazac est une agreable petite ville. La visite passe obligatoirement par la petite eglise, certes pas exceptionnelle mais qui possede quelques meubles et objets liturgiques interessants. A voir dans la decouverte du centre ville.
