Holy Sour Church

The construction of the first Abbey began with the arrival of Sorus in 560Eglise St Sour. Looted by the Normans and then destroyed, the church was rebuilt at the end of the IXth Century . During the XIVth Century the Abbey was destroyed again and abandonned more than 100 years. It's at the beginning of the XVth Century that the church was restored and destroyed again by religious wars.
