Abbey with a church of Romanesque Auvergne style sheltering several relics, among which those of Saint Vincent, in Chantelle.

On March 26, 937, a certain Ainaud and his wife Rothilde founded a priory next to the original Saint-Vincent church, which was then part of the castle grounds. The new church was built in the 12th century in the Auvergne Romanesque style. In 1149, it was enriched by relics donated by Archambaud VI, and in 1275, the remains of Saint Vincent were deposited here. The church comprises a three-bay nave, a projecting two-bay transept, one of which opens onto absidioles, and a semicircular choir surrounded by an ambulatory with three radiating chapels lit by columned windows. The portal and façade date from the 17th century. In the 18th century, the western part of the nave was destroyed. In 1853, the Benedictine nuns of Pradines returned to the monastery, abandoned since the Revolution, and the vaults were rebuilt, the original octagonal bell tower having been destroyed during the Revolution. On August 9, 1864, the Pope recognized the existence of the abbey, whose canonical erection became effective on September 12, 1890.
