Saint Julien de Brioude church was built in the 11th and 13th centuries. This Romanesque church is an example of transitional architecture from Romanesque (nave and choir) to Gothic (vaulting). Inside, you'll find the tomb of Simon de Cramaud, Cardinal and crusading warlord. The importance of such a church in this small village is due to the fact that Biennac was the head of a parish until the 18th century, on which Rochechouart depended. The attic space was built for defensive purposes, to guard against English invasions.
