In the middle of beautiful countryside, the church of "St. Pierre-es-liens" in Monbos (built towards the end of the 10th century) attracts many visitors to this place of peace and serenity. The trace of its construction appears in texts preserved by the monks of the Abbey of Cadouin from the 12th century.
The church has been altered several times between the 14th and 19th centuries, but has retained the harmony of its Romanesque choir and its remarkable pre-Romanesque capitals.
Hunting and erotic scenes can be seen, surviving for a thousand years without damage or mutilation. (according to Evelyne Bermond-Picot and Gérard Leconte). Some historians see in it a representation of the Apocalypse according to Saint John, or the representation of the three great kingdoms of nature (vegetable, animal and human).
To be seen:
Pre-Romanesque capitals and frieze: erotic scenes, hunting scenes
