Lonlay Abbey, one of the largest in western Normandy, with a church featuring a large Romanesque transept and beautiful statues.
Founded in 1017 by Guillaume de Bellême and entrusted to Benedictine monks, the abbey spread as far as England, where it possessed 3 priories, before suffering numerous destructions, fires, and pillages. Today, the abbey church remains, with its Gothic porch and doorway, the 3-storey Gothic choir with its apsidioles opening onto the ambulatory, the Anglo-Norman-inspired capitals and the furnishings, including a limestone altarpiece topped by a Pietà and carved wooden stalls (known as "miséricordes").

Inside, note a series of fake arches and some chapitaux with heads monsters and painful figures.
The Gothic heart with its cylindrical pillars where springs columns, the first on the left is supported by a hand, the others being a figurine.
