Built from 1175 to 1220 by Richard the Lionheart, towering Abbatiale de la Ste-Trinité was the most important pilgrimage site in Normandy until the construction of Mont St-Michel, thanks to the drops of Jesus’ blood that, legend has it, miraculously floated to Fécamp in the trunk of a fig tree. Across from the abbey are the remains of a fortified château built in the 10th and 11th centuries by the earliest dukes of Normandy. Situated 1.5km east of the beach.
