Very beautiful, but it clearly needs restoration for its proper conservation. I have not seen it inside, you have to call in advance because of what the townspeople have told me

On the outside and comparing it with what there is in the surroundings it is very good, on the inside I can't speak, because it says that you can only visit on Wednesdays, as long as they answer you, because I wrote to them a couple of times and they didn't bother to reply ??‍♂️.

You can only visit on Wednesdays, curious to see if you go in passing, a little careless.

Surprise to find such a cool castle in such a small town. A pity that it is private and cannot be visited.

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).
