A former royal abbey, steeped in history, with a park containing a rose window of 530 lime trees unique in the world, in Sées.
Founded in the heart of the town in the 6th century by Benedictine monks from the Abbey of Saint-Evroult, the abbey was successively destroyed by Viking invasions and the Hundred Years’ War, and rebuilt in the 17th century. Saint Louis stayed here in 1256. From the 19th century onwards, it was converted into a spinning mill and then a hospital. Today, the 11,500m2 buildings and grounds, including a long canal and a plantation of 530 rose-shaped lime trees representing the wheel of eternity, are privately owned.
