Longues Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Longues-sur-Mer, France.
The stone structures of this religious complex include a church, dormitory, and hospitality buildings spread across extensive gardens in Normandy.
Founded in 1168 by Hugues Wac, the abbey received support from King Henry II of England and various Norman lords during medieval times.
The monastery contains decorative art from different periods, including intricate floor tiles dating back to the late 13th century.
The abbey opens its doors to visitors from May 1 to August 10, 2024, with adult admission costing 5 euros, payable by cash or bank transfer.
Recent renovations revealed the oldest Armorican-style framework in Normandy, as confirmed by scientific research from CNRS.
