The priory represents a monastic complex built from the 11th century. Rich in sculpted capitals, the church stands out with its half-buried crypt from the 11th century, while the refectory still retains a 15th century fresco representing The Last Supper.

The monastery was built in the 8th century in cinder stones. The current buildings have been restored. They date from the 15th century. The whole is made up of the church (12th and 15th centuries), the Prior's dwelling, the gallery (15th century), the vaulted cellar (13th century) and the chapter house.

This Casadean priory (congregation of La Chaise-Dieu) stands on a basaltic peak in the heart of the Forez plain. The peak offers a magnificent 360° view of the Monts du Forez and the Monts du Lyonnais.

Former Benedictine priory founded around the year 1000 and restored in the 1970s. Today it hosts guided tours, exhibitions, concerts, association events and private events.

Apart from the fantastic view, it is something special to spend the night in the old walls.
