Fécamp Abbey

Fécamp Abbey is a Benedictine abbey in the town of Fécamp on the Channel coast of Normandy. Refounded by the dukes of Normandy, it was reformed by William of Volpiano around 1001 and became one of the richest and most influential monasteries of the duchy. Its relic of the Precious Blood made it a place of pilgrimage, and the Bénédictine liqueur is named after its monks.
