HOLY CROSS ABBEY CHURCH
Go there and contact
Romanesque building whose bell tower was knocked down in 1944 and replaced by a concrete campanile.
Consecrated in 1204, this Romanesque building, the oldest in Saint-Lô, has undergone numerous alterations over the centuries. At the beginning of the 19th century, the conventual buildings were transformed into a stud farm. Only the portal and the first bays remain from the Romanesque period. The bell tower, rebuilt in 1860, was knocked down in 1944 and replaced by a concrete bell tower. A plaque on the wall of the bell tower recalls the memory of the American Major T.-D. Howie, who died from a mortar fragment.
