This building, built in the 12th century, is one of the 5 major Romanesque churches in the region

Built in the 12th century in honor of Saint Nectaire, evangelizer of the 3rd century, it is one of the most beautiful Romanesque churches in Auvergne. The bell tower, the tower and the west facade were restored at the end of the 19th century. Inside, the barrel-vaulted nave with bays is flanked by side aisles with groin vaults and tribunes. The transept crossing is crowned by a cupola on trunks. It houses 103 capitals, including those of the choir, which form a remarkable group of Romanesque sculptures. The treasure houses a bust of Saint Baudime.

Dressée sur le mont Cornadore, l'Eglise de Saint-nectaire rayonne. Lumineuse, et joliment décoré, son architecture est remarquable. Une des plus belles églises d'Auvergne.

Perché dans la ville haute cette église romaine est très jolie; les chapiteaux en particulier méritent la visite; des bêtes fabuleuses, des diables, des saints... Une lumière douce et calme partout.

Fait partie des 5 églises majeures d'Auvergne. Juchée sur son promontoire, elle domine la ville de Saint-Nectaire. Ses décorations sculptées et peintes sont rafinées et font découvrir la richesse de l'art médiéval auvergnat.
