luxury house for sale Bournoncle-Saint-Pierre, France

A priory, listed as a European Cluniac Site, a 12th-century tower & garden, in the north of the Brivadois region & the greater Haute-Loire department. Established around 994 thanks to a donation from Lady Aldegarde to the Cluniac monastery of Sauxillanges, the Bournoncle-Saint-Pierre priory was once part of a dynamic that was both spiritually and economically motivated. As of the 12th century, the establishment, inhabited by six to eight monks, became more than a site for prayer and was transformed into a major agricultural and religious hub, while in 1132, its influence extended over eighteen farms and thirteen dependencies. At that time, the priory embodied the strength of the Cluny Order, which, at its heyday in the 11th and 12th centuries, oversaw 1,098 monasteries throughout Europe, including 855 in France, a network without parallel in the medieval Christian world. Even today, the site, one of the most eloquent vestiges of the Cluny Order’s history, is a testament to this former strength thanks to its architectural heritage, whereas, in the 12th and the 13th centuries, the monastic buildings, abutting the church, formed a logical and functional composition. Originally surrounded by a fortified enclosure wall, defended by four corner towers, symbols of the priory’s dual vocation: protecting property as well as souls, monastic life took place behind these thick walls with a guest room for visitors and pilgrims, the prior’s chamber – the centre of local power – monastic cells, a kitchen, a pantry and an infirmary. In addition, a tithe barn made it possible to store the grain harvests, while passageways and openings between the church and the priory facilitated access for the monks between their temporal occupations and spiritual duties. As for the site, it has adapted to the changing times with, in particular, the creation of the immense gate opening on to the courtyard, which was added in 1777, whereas, presently, the priory, recognised as a 'European Cluniac Site', is part of the Council of Europe’s cultural itineraries as well as the collective bid by Cluniac sites to be included on the Unesco World Heritage List.

A 17th-century village house with an old inn and courtyard, near the town of Brioude in France’s beautiful Haute-Loire department. The property is a former inn whose business activity dated back to the 17th century. An inscription in the courtyard still reads: 'Cadet innkeeper’s room, lodgings for travellers on foot and horseback'. It lies on the edge of the mound of an 11th-century castle that has now disappeared, or more precisely on the vallum – the defensive enclosure. From the street, the facade comes into view like an imposing rampart, through which a carriage gate leads into the lush inner courtyard. On the right, a small flight of steps leads up to the main dwelling, beside which there is a terrace in the shade of a kiwi tree. The house has two levels: a ground floor with reception rooms and a first floor with a convertible loft space, above which there is a dovecote. On the left, there is an inn, which is still in its original architectural form. You step into it through an arched door of dressed stone. Upstairs, there is a hayloft, which you can reach via an outdoor flight of steps. At the end of the court, there is an open-sided agricultural storehouse beneath a mezzanine, which you can reach from the terrace via a passageway. A row of three cellars, one of which is arched in a winemaking style typical of the Auvergne region, completes the property.
