Orval - Sainte-Hélène

Orval - Sainte-Hélène
Already within the 7th century a convent, following the Rule of Saint Colomban, existed here upto the Viking raids. New monastic life flourished, when benefactor Renaud d'Orval donated land to the Abbay Sainte-Trinité in Lessay - and a priory was founded here in the 11th century.

Orval´s parish church "Sainte-Hélène", erected end of the 11th century, was this priory´s church.
