A collegiate was founded here by William the Conquerer´s half-brother Robert, Count of Mortain, in 1082. The center of the collegiate was a Romanesque church. Of this only a side-portal still exists. It is seen here with a typical zigzag design. The Gothic church of today was erected from 1230 on and follows the Gothic style of the Île - de - France. It was funded by Mathilde de Dammartin, daughter in law of Philip II of France.
