Grestain Abbey, Medieval Benedictine monastery in Fatouville-Grestain, France
The remaining structures of Grestain Abbey include a defensive wall, a thirteenth-century portal, and sections of the manor house within Château de La Pommeraye.
Herluin de Conteville and his wife Arlette, mother of William the Conqueror, established the Benedictine monastery in 1050 following Herluin's recovery from leprosy.
The abbey functions as an educational center, offering guided tours, conferences, theatrical performances, concerts, and exhibitions throughout the year.
Located near Honfleur, the abbey welcomes visitors every day from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM without requiring an entrance fee.
The abbey served as a principal center for ordaining English priests during the period following the Norman Conquest of England.
