At the top of the village of Yermo we find this Romanesque jewel (later belfry). It is famous for its corbels

Romanesque church that is close to Cartes and Riocorvo, everything is worth a visit. It is famous for the theme of some of its corbels.

Bells Romanesque Church with a good collection of corbels of different themes, music, erotic... To highlight the portico with the fight of a knight with a beast or dragon that has its replica inside.

Beautiful Romanesque church, it had a sign on the door with the hours of guided tours (I understand that the church is also open hours) was from 10-2 and I think from 7-9 pm, a pity not having taken a photo to share

Abbey of Saint-Georges

Saint-Georges de Boscherville Abbey is a former Benedictine abbey. It was founded in about 1113 by Guillaume de Tancarville on the site of an earlier establishment of secular canons and settled by monks from the Abbey of Saint-Evroul. The abbey church made of Caumont stone was erected from 1113 to 1140. The Norman builders aimed to have very well-lit naves and they did this by means of tall, large windows, initially made possible by a wooden ceiling, which prevented uplift, although this was replaced by a Gothic vault in the 13th century. The chapter room was built after the abbey church and dates from the last quarter of the 12th century.

The arrival of the Maurist monks in 1659, after the disasters of the Wars of Religion, helped to get the abbey back on a firmer spiritual, architectural and economic footing. They erected a large monastic building one wing of which fitted tightly around the chapter house (which was otherwise left as it was).
