A priory is a small religious community headed by a prior. The Cluniac Benedictine priory in Pommiers has a fascinating history going back over a thousand years. Benedictine monks moved onto the site of what is now the village of Pommiers-en-Forez as early as the 9th century, and built the church of Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul and the first monastic buildings in the 11th century.
One of the interesting things about this site is the way that it has constantly changed over the centuries - having been a priory until the French Revolution, it became a private residence in the 19th and 20th centuries before being used as a retirement and rest home for members of the clergy in the second half of the 20th century. The Department of the Loire, which now owns the site, has handled the conservation, restoration and development of this heritage site since 1990.
