Magnificent ruin of the priory of the Holy Trinity. Former monastery from the 11th century, part of Norman heritage.

A magnificent place for lovers of old stones.

A historic and cultural place in the Normandy region. Visit the Priory of the Holy Trinity, a former monastery dating from the 11th century. You can admire the remains of the priory church and discover the surrounding countryside, which offers panoramic views of the Risle valley and the town of Beaumont-le-Roger. The Priory of the Holy Trinity is a place where you can immerse yourself in the rich Norman heritage and enjoy a peaceful and relaxing hike.

In 1855 a fire destroyed the facilities. In 1862, Mr. Lenormand prevented the priory's complete demolition by buying it back on behalf of the Société des Antiquaires de Normandie. However, a few years later part of the retaining walls were demolished to widen the road to Brionne. It is now property of the state.

It was in 1088 that the charter of its foundation by Roger de Beaumont was placed. At first it was a Collegiate Church whose service was entrusted to the English canons of St. Frideswide. In 1142, monks replaced them, not without difficulties. In 1147, a General Assembly, chaired in Paris by Pope Eugene III, leads to a compromise. Around 1150, the Priory of Beaumont le Roger was occupied by 12 monks. The Priory saw many donations, rents, the income from its land (Passing through Beaumont le Roger, Louis IX leased vines to the religious). There were only 4 of these in 1580. In 1634, there was only one prior and two canons. On the eve of the Revolution, only 2 canons occupied the cloister buildings. The premises were devastated during the tormented times of the Revolution of 1789. In 1820, the textile industry took over what remained of the buildings: a cotton mill, a ribbon factory and a cloth factory. A fire destroyed the facilities in 1855. The remains were purchased and the new owner sold the materials. Fortunately, a member of the Institute bought what was left of the ruins to save them. Since 1916, the Priory has been classified as a Historic Monument.
