Mortemer Abbey and its lake
The lake is part of the Notre-Dame de Mortemer Abbey, an ancient Cistercian men's abbey founded in 1134 by King Henry Beauclerc, located between Lyons-la-Forêt and Lisors. It was the first Cistercian abbey in Normandy. Most of the original buildings dating from the 11th and 13th centuries are in a state of ruin and were classified as historic monuments.
