Holy Trinity Abbey

The late 11th Century Roman Holy Trinity Abbey is the first Normandy edifice that is entirely vaulted with intersecting ribs. The former Benedictine monastery, which was destroyed in 1944, was magnificently restored by the Service of Historical Monuments under the direction of Yves-Marie Froidevaux, chief architect. The old conventual buildings - 18th Century - which were also rebuilt after the war, have been privately owned since the French Revolution.
