Montebourg Abbey
Montebourg, Departement de la Manche, Basse-Normandie, France
The second, Roger, in the morning, goes in search of his missing companion. Tired, he stops one night at the foot of a hill, Montebourg. He falls asleep and dreams that a star falls to the top of the hill, while the Virgin ordered him to build there a chapel in his honor. Roger runs.
The miracle reaches the ears of Duke William, who was returning from England through the port of Barfleur, north of Montebourg. Duke William gives land, materials and various rights in the forests of Cotentin, and the abbey.was built between 1066 and 1087.
Suffering greatly during the Hundred Years War, it was rebuilt, only to be plundered by the Huguenots in 1562, and sold as national property during the French Revolution, and finally destroyed on 1818. More than a hundred of construction of a new abbey was begun in 1842.
