Founded in 1058 by the Benedictines of Fécamp, the Priory of Saint Gabriel is essentially an agricultural place. It is where high justice is rendered. The church, of which only the choir remains today is a pure jewel of Norman art, is owned by the department while the buildings, owned by a family SCI, now host a Third-place.
