Tourist Information about Ambierle

It's worth stopping in this village, where history is linked with the Benedictine abbey one, founded in the High Middle Ages and reduced to a priory in 1101. The present church dates back to this time, even if a part was destroyed during a fire and rebuilt in the 17 th century. Apart from the varnished roof, the church has the shape of a simple and rather bare building, but very luminous. It is decorated with superb stained-glass windows and sculptures, but the attraction of the monument is indisputably the superb altarpiece.
