The church was built in two phases. The apse, the choir, the transept and two bays of the nave with associated vaults were finished when Eudes au Capel died in 1098. The remaining bays followed a few years later.
The beautiful Romanesque abbey church was rebuilt with great care after the Second World War. As many original materials as possible were used. Particularly striking are the clean lines of the apse against the flat rear wall with a gable. The squat square bell tower and the slate roofs from La Hague are also worth seeing.

The abbey church of Ste-Trinité in Lessay impresses with its incredibly consistent (early) Romanesque architectural style. The effect of this simplicity on the visitor to the church is simply mind-blowing. The church was built around 1100. In its history, unfortunately, it was destroyed three times, the last time in World War II.
Some architectural historians believe that the ribbed vaults of the cloisters located to the side of the main nave are the oldest ribbed vaults in the world.
