Lessay's Abbey

The Lessay's Abbey is one of the most interesting places in this town. Established in 1056 by the barons from La-Haye-du-Puits, Richard Turstin Haldup and his son Eudes Au Capel, it welcomes the monks from the Bec Abbey. It is listed as a Historical Monument and shelters some works also listed.
