About Longues Abbey
Founded in 1168 by Hugues Wac, a descendant of one of William the Conqueror's companions, this Benedictine abbey operated for over 600 years before being abandoned prior to the French Revolution. The complex includes a restored 13th-century choir, a hospitality wing with Normandy's largest collection of medieval glazed tiles, and two exceptional 14th-century murals depicting Saint Michael and the Annunciation. Visitors can explore buildings featuring Romanesque vaults from the late 12th century and the oldest Armorican-type timber framing discovered in Normandy.

In August 2022, the first mass was celebrated in the restored choir after a 240-year gap. The ceremony marked the return of religious services to the abbey since its abandonment in the late 18th century.
