Heritage of Trinity Abbey

The foundation of Trinity Abbey traces back to 1175, commissioned by Richard the Lionheart. This Benedictine abbey gained renown as the foremost pilgrimage site in Normandy until the rise of Mont St-Michel.

Its historical significance stems from legends that Jesus’ blood miraculously reached Fécamp, enriching its spiritual legacy. Noteworthy features include the fortress remnants across from the abbey, built by early dukes of Normandy in the 10th and 11th centuries, and architectural elements representative of early Gothic style.
