Origin and history
The Priory of Notre-Dame-du-Colombiar de Gaujac, located in Boisset-et-Gaujac in the Gard, consists of a 12th century church and an 18th century priory. It houses two rooms with fireplaces on the first floor, as well as a curved double-fly staircase leading to the garden. A retaining wall delimits adjacent parcels, highlighting the architectural and historical importance of the site.
The church, classified as a Historical Monument, and the priory adjacent to the north, with its staircase and retaining wall, were inscribed by order of 18 May 1998. The site, now shared property between a private company and the department, bears witness to the architectural evolution between the Middle Ages and the modern era, with defensive and residential elements.
The location of the priory, specified by GPS coordinates and a postal address (372 Chemin du Colombier), confirms its anchoring in the rural landscape of Occitanie. Although the information on its accessibility (visits, rentals, accommodation) is not detailed, its status as a Historic Monument makes it a protected heritage and potentially open to cultural enhancement.
