Abbey founded in 1225 by Dominican monks, his official name is Abbey of The Most Holy Trinity, but she took the nickname Black Abbey, the black abbey, because of the color of his monks' dress. After the monasteries were dissolved by Henry VIII of England (between 1538 and 1541), Black Abbey was turned into a court. Left abandoned after the passage of Cromwell in 1650, it was restored in the nineteenth century. The interest of the architecture is limited, apart from a superb arched ceiling of shining wood and two beautiful stained glass windows.
