Le prieuré de la Sainte-Trinité
In 1070 Robert de Beaumont founded a collegiate church that was consecrated in 1087. In 1148, Galeran de Beaumont gave his church to Bec Abbey in Le Bec-Hellouin (at the time of Robert and Hellouin the villages were obviously named after their owner). Bec Abbey used the church to found a priory. The today visible ruins of the church were built in the 13th century though. Since the 17th century the priory was abandoned. (Probably because of the wars of religion? That's just a guess.) And the buildings were in a state of advancing decay. After the French Revolution (1789-1799) the rest of the buildings was used as spinning mill (if I remember right, the spinning mill was destroyed by a fire). The church was destroyed in the years between 1820 and 1850.
