About Saint-Georges Abbey

Saint-Georges Abbey is one of the finest examples of Norman Romanesque architecture in France, founded by Guillaume I de Tancarville in 1112-1114 on a site with origins dating back to the 1st century CE. The abbey church, built between 1113-1140 from local Caumont stone, displays remarkable architectural unity with its pure Romanesque style preserved almost entirely from the 12th century. Visitors can explore the magnificent Gothic chapter house featuring biblical and secular scenes on its sculpted capitals, along with 4 hectares of award-winning gardens classified as 'Jardin Remarquable' including heritage orchards, kitchen gardens, and panoramic terraces overlooking the Seine Valley.

The site has been sacred for nearly 2,000 years - before the abbey, a Roman fanum (temple) stood here in the 2nd century CE, which itself replaced an even older wooden temple from the 1st century. Archaeological excavations have revealed traces of these ancient structures beneath the medieval foundations.
