Collegiale, St Junian, Haute-Vienne - a photo on Flickriver

            "Its origins date back to the 7th century, when the Bishop of Limoges, Rorice II, had an oratory built on the tomb of the hermit Junien. A college of canons was installed to provide services that honoured the saint. The nave and transept of this Limousin Romanesque-style monument date from the end of the 11th century; the façade was completed at the end of the 12th century; the square chevet, with a severe appearance, is from the 13th century.

The central bell tower, which collapsed in 1922, was rebuilt. The main curiosities to discover in this collegiate church are the tomb of Saint Junien in limestone (12th century), the fresco in the nave representing the twenty-four elders of the Apocalypse (12th century) and the Saint-Martial chapel (13th century) housing a sculpted entombment (15th century).

The collegiate church was listed as a historical monument in 1840. The medieval canon and chronicler Étienne Maleu, who recounted the history of the chapter of Saint-Junien, was buried in the collegiate church." Wikipedia (translated from the French)

"The history of Saint-Junien began in AD 500, when an ascetic of Hungarian origin, Saint Amand, chose to live on the north bank of the Vienne River at a place called Comodoliac.

Ruricius, bishop of Limoges, offered him a humble cell. At this time, Junian (Junien), originally from the north of France and son of a Count of Cambrai, left his family at the age of 15 and became a disciple of Saint Amand. It is said that Junian knocked on the door of Amand, who did not answer. Junian had to sleep outside, and the snow miraculously spared him during the night. He then lived as a hermit and, after the passing of his master, he lived where the collegiate church stands nowadays." Wikipedia
