First construction campaign between 1540 and 1560, addition in 1648 of the Chapel of the Passion. The vaults as well as the stone portal only date from the 19th century.
Building oriented in a Latin cross plan with a projecting transept. The façade consists of a gable wall and a bell tower, which flanks it. The portal is surmounted by a tympanum in high relief.
Church built in the 13th century but disappeared after the Hundred Years War. The present building was erected between 1520 and 1612.
The Fécamp Abbey is a Benedictine abbey founded in the 7th century as a pilgrimage centre for the Precious Blood of Christ. From the 11th century, Benedictine monks settled there at the instigation of the Duke of Normandy who had their ducal castle in Fécamp. The abbey presents a primitive Gothic style with some Romanesque chapels and interesting interior decorations from the 15th and 16th centuries. The abbey is well known as the birthplace of the Benedictine liqueur, whose recipe was rediscovered in 1863 by a local merchant.
Chapel built in the 16th century, today the only real vestige of the period, since part of the church collapsed in the 18th century.
