In 1122, a monastery belonging to the Benedictines of the Cluniac order stood here. Legend has it that the spring appeared after the monastery's disappearance. The spring is said to be fertile.

The Benedictine monastery of Marcilhac is now only a ruin, but is still absolutely worth seeing. Only remnants remain (12th century). Several imaginatively designed Romanesque capitals can be admired in the chapter house.
