Prieuré de Grammont

For a long time, the founding date of the priory was attributed to a charter of Richard the Lionheart from 1194, but in reality, it probably dates a little later. The construction of the buildings took place around the year 1200. The very uniform complex is remarkably well preserved. Already in 1292, the community counted only five friars. On September 11, 1629, a charter recorded the possessions of the abbeys of Déols, Saint-Gildas, and the Priory of Grammont, which were annexed to the domain of the Duchy of Châteauroux. The vault of the chapel was replaced by the current roof truss in the 17th century. In 1772, the Grandmontine Order was dissolved by the Commission for Regular Canons. The buildings were converted into a farm until they were purchased by the commune in 1985.
