Culture and History

Le Couvent in Gramat comprises a nine-hectare religious site enclosed according to the principle of a secluded monastic precinct and including a large meadow, an arboretum, an orchard, and a herb garden. During the War of 1870, the chapel wing served as a hospital and was consecrated in 1873. The buildings of the former farm were constructed between 1888 and 1890 and house a washhouse and a large bread oven.

The Église Saint-Pierre in Gramat is a neo-Gothic church built at the beginning of the 20th century. It houses an organ classified as a Monument historique. The Tour de l’Horloge is a remnant from the 16th century and formerly served as a watchtower.
