The Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens church of Cavagnac is a parish church of Romanesque origin located in the locality of Cavagnac in the commune of Soturac. Less known than the Saint-Pierre church in the main town of Soturac, it is listed in the General Inventory of the heritage of the Occitanie region for its preserved architecture and its unique sculptures. (Mid-12th century): The majority of the current structure (the choir and the apse) dates back to the Romanesque period. Works (1777): It is at this date that the single nave is fitted with its current groin vaults, while the south portal is remodeled. Enlargement and Fire (1789–1792): Two side chapels (north and south) are added and blessed in February 1789, just before the building suffered a fire in 1792 during the Revolution, forcing the reconstruction of the vault at a lower level. The church is distinguished by a plan typical of small rural sanctuaries in Quercy: A massive bell tower rising 18 meters high. A choir composed of a straight bay under a barrel vault and terminated by a semi-circular cul-de-four apse. Remarkable sculpted capitals located at the entrance to the choir (on the double arch)
