Founded in the 11th century by Robert de Montfort, the site was first erected as a collegiate church before becoming a priory in the 12th century.
All his rights were then exercised by the Abbey of Bec and the vicar of Saint-Philbert served the chapel adjoining the parish church.
Today, the Priory is communal property and only vestiges of the surrounding walls remain with a beautiful portal, a dovecote-bread oven and a perfectly restored Norman-style building.
In the courtyard of the old priory just behind the church, this magnificent mill wheel is easily accessible. We take advantage of supplies for a photo break. A strange cavity dug under the road from which springs a spring.
