Mozac
Mozac is in the Puy-de-Dome department, in central Auvergne, near Riom and Volvic to the north of Clermont-Ferrand.
Above all, it is for the Abbey of Saint-Pierre that people visit Mozac. Dating originally from the 7th century, the abbey has later 15th century additions using the local granite-like stone from Volvic.
Containing the relics of Saint Austremoine, the abbey is a mix of styles:
- the crypt and eastern entrance are pre-Roman
- the north facade is in Roman style
- the cloister and transept are Gothic style
It is above all the 'chapiteaux' - the carvings on top of the columns - that attracts attention
Mozac Abbey as a whole is a classified historic monument, and further important parts of the earlier building can be seen in the museum on site.
