What can I say about this abbey? Magnificent Cotentin abbey in a rural setting conducive to inner rest. Ideal for revising your competitions!!! Once again a big thank you for the welcome of the monks and the exquisite cuisine of Brother Pierre!

Mass at the abbey on this feast of the assumption with collective prayer led by the monks. On site, after a visit to the La Trappe shop, tasting of its fine and tasty charcuterie products; she deserves a gold medal at the annual Grand Concours Agricole in Paris!

Jan Hus Memorial

The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Šaloun and paid for solely by public donations.

Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
