Very simple abbey church from the 12th century. One of the first with cross-ribbed vaults.

This church was not dedicated to one of the many people who died as martyrs (witnesses of faith) for their Christian beliefs, or who we venerate as blessed or saints because of their exemplary way of life. Rather, this parish has chosen God himself - in the "Holy Trinity" - as its patron saint. According to Christian teaching, we believe in ONE God who exists in THREE persons - God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit. The following description can be found on the EKD (Evangelical Church in Germany) website: "The word tries to express the seemingly impossible, namely that God is three and one at the same time. To understand this, it helps to consider how people have experienced God throughout history: as a creator who loves his world and people like a father loves his children. As a God who became human himself in Jesus Christ, his son, and shared human life. And finally as God who is still present and alive among people in the Holy Spirit.”

Abbey dating from the 11th Century. Roman style, it is very well preserved, and clearly visible from your bike!

Beautiful lake

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.

Don't forget mosquito spray. The many small ponds are a mosquito Eldorado. You can also fish in the large lake. Dogs must be kept on a leash throughout the Landscape Park, but there are places on the lake where you can let them swim with a tow leash.
