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.
