About Graville Abbey
Graville Abbey is a masterpiece of Norman Romanesque architecture founded in the 11th century by Guillaume Malet de Graville, a companion of William the Conqueror, after his victory at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The site has been a place of worship since the 6th century and is dedicated to Saint Honorine, patron saint of boatmen. Visitors can explore the beautifully preserved Romanesque church with its 13th-century Gothic choir and 17th-century baroque altarpiece, as well as the museum housed in the medieval monastic buildings.

The abbey's founder Guillaume Malet de Graville financed its construction using war tributes collected from both Normandy and England after fighting alongside William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings. This dual-source funding allowed for the impressive 4-meter thick walls and elaborate Romanesque architecture that still stands nearly a millennium later.
