According to the Manuscript of the Chapelains of Saint-Antoine , the Saint-Jean-Baptiste church was founded by Renaud de Thiviers, bishop of Périgueux since 1081, who has installed a college of regular canons subject to the rule of Saint Augustine. R. P. Paulin quotes a note on the manuscript of the Chronic Canon Maleu, canon of Saint-Junien, died in 1322, who also quotes Bishop Renaud de Thiviers as founder. Finally, the Gaul Christian advance the date of 1086 for the foundation of the church by the same character. Félix de Verneilh said, without giving more information that a second dedication took place at XII It is century. The bishop of Périgueux Pierre Minet alluded in 1173 to the generosity of his predecessors in a letter to the prior Bernard. A bubble of Célestin III of 1192 put the priory of Saint-Jean-de-Côle under his protection and granted him a certain number of profits. Bertrand de Got, archbishop of Bordeaux, visited the priory in 1305 before becoming Pope Clément V the same year.
During the Hundred Years War, the city was taken by the English in 1394, who strengthened it, then by the French, in 1404. Supplications addressed to the Pope, in 1436 and 1437, indicate that the convent has suffered a lot [ 2 ] .
The priory went to the way during the XVI It is century. In 1574, Henri de la Maryonie, squire and advisor to the king, was described as a commendatory prior. The priory is occupied by Protestants at the end of XVI It is century. It depends on the Abbey of Charroux.
In 1635, a congregation of all the regular canons, the Genovefains, of which the chief is the abbot of Sainte-Geneviève in Paris. Those of Saint John of Coast embrace this reform in 1669 intended to bring the canons back to the founding rules following the Council of Trent. It only had an effect for a time, because decadence continued to XVIII It is century. The community which counted up to seventeen members only included four in 1763, three in 1789.
During the revolution, the books of the monastery are dispersed, the titles burned, the buildings sold as national goods. The church became a parish church in 1801.
