A special place in Strzelno. A beautifully landscaped large square with two very old churches. Both objects must be seen. There is also a museum and a cafe next to the temples. There is a large free car park in front of the churches. In the church of St. The Trinity Church houses Romanesque columns. There are seven of them. Four located in the nave. Two of them are richly carved.

Lovely church. Presumably the restoration of the Romanesque style would make it even more attractive

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).
