The Abbey Church, was rebuilt in the 12th and 13th centuries and restored and modified in the 16th and 17th centuries, replacing the former abbey church built in 1012 by William the Conqueror's aunt, Countess Lesceline. The church was entirely restored in the 16th century. By that time it got its general current appearance: a long main nave with two aisles and five radiating chapels, in the gothic style. The church has a baked-clay paving from the 13th century which is absolutely unique soon to be replaced in the centre of the choir, its original site.
