Benedictine monks, escaping the Norman raids in the Normandie, settled here in 924 and founded the monastery. The large church was erected within the 12th and 13th century. As the monks had brought the valuable relics of Saint Laumer, Saint Lubin, Saint Mary of Egypt and a fragment of the True Cross this was a place of medieval pilgrimage. The church was dedicated to Saint Laumer, the convent existed up to the French Revolution. Since then it serves the parish, dedicated now to Saint Nicholas, remembering a nearby church, that got demolished after the Revolution. This small mermaid lives under Saint Nicholas´ roof.

Not all the carvings here are that sophisticated as that one on the previous upload. Neither from the style, not for the theme. Here is a rough carving depicting a pub brawl. As both drunkards hold knives, this fight may end in tragedy.

Some really experienced masters carved the capitals near the crossing. Here a gentleman pulls his beard, contemplating about a complex problem. Or is he a dreaming star gazer.
