The origin of the abbey is lost in the legends. It exists at the 9th century, belonging to the six large abbeys of Périgord (Paunat, Belvès, Saint Face of Périgueux, Brantôme, Terrasson). The abbey Carolingien of Sarlat is not the only one to be saved by the Viking S, located of the the Dordogne and its Affluent S. It knew to remain independent and placed in 1153 under the direct protection of the the Holy See at Rome. It was rebuilt with the Romance time between 1125 and 1160.
