Solignac (; ) is a commune in the Haute-Vienne department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in west-central France.
==Geography== The village lies on the right bank of the Briance, which flows westward through the commune. It contains the former Abbey of Solignac, part of the Benedictine order; founded in 631 and rebuilt several times, the current buildings date from the 17th century. Suppressed during the French Revolution and used as a porcelain factory until 1931, the former Abbey church is known as an exceptional example of Romanesque architecture and has been designated a National Historic Monument. On 1 August 2021 the community of Benedictine monks returned to the abbey and will be an active religious site once again.
