Church built by Guillaume de Bellême in the early 11th century at Domfront-en-Poiraie

Built on the banks of La Varenne by Guillaume de Bellême around 1020, this Norman-style Romanesque church in the shape of a Latin cross has retained its appeal despite the ravages of history (sacking during the Hundred Years' War, demolition of part of the nave, aerial bombardment). Frequented by pilgrims on their way to Mont-Saint-Michel, it welcomed William the Conqueror. Set in a restored granite setting, it reveals its assets: portal, modillions, 12th-century frescoes, recumbent tomb.

Une église romane qui vaut une petite visite
Cette petite église romane située aux abords de la ville vaut le détour. En passant le pont, cet édifice se trouve légèrement en contrebas avec devant un joli jardin bien entretenu et derrière un ancien cimetière avec quelques belles sépultures. L'endroit très calme est agréable loin des bruits de la ville. A l'intérieur, une belle Vierge à l'enfant vaut le détour. Une visite fort appréciée qui complète bien celle de la ville. A conseiller.
