Fécamp Abbey, Gothic abbey in Fécamp, France.
The Abbey of the Holy Trinity stands near the English Channel with a classical facade and features architectural elements from different construction periods.
Founded in 658 by Count Waningus as a nunnery, Vikings destroyed the original structure in 841, leading to reconstruction by Richard I of Normandy.
The abbey scriptorium produced numerous illuminated manuscripts during the Plantagenet period, contributing to medieval literary preservation and advancement.
The monument remains open to visitors who can examine the Gothic architecture, religious artifacts, and stained glass windows within its stone walls.
The abbey holds the distinction of being the first producer of Benedictine liqueur, created from a combination of herbs and brandy.
