Troarn Abbey

Troarn Abbey was a Benedictine nunnery in the French town, presently in the Calvados bureau of Lower Normandy. It was committed to Martin of Tours and established by Roger I of Montgomery utilizing twelve priests from Fecamp Abbey in 1022, as a satellite of that house. Around 1050 Roger II of Montgommery supplanted this foundation with a free Benedictine religious community. Its first church was committed in 1059.

Roger II allowed the religious community arrives around Troarn, including the swamps and a progression of area houses of worship, while his significant other Mabille of Belleme conceded it all the ward temples in Seez and William I of England included all that he had allowed Mabille in England. Between the Norman success of England and 1086 it was allowed Horsley Priory in Gloucestershire as its very own satellite - it clutched it until 1260, when it traded it with Bruton Priory in Somerset for grounds in Normandy.

Troarn turned into the second most vital monastery in the Diocese of Bayeux after the Abbey of Saint-Etienne in Caen. It housed forty priests by the thirteenth century, who had a noteworthy influence in recovering the Dives swamps and building up the fields of the Auge valley and the vines in the wide open around Caen.
