Member of the Museums of Art and History of Le Havre, the museum of the priory of Graville, in Le Havre, is a site known since the Merovingian period and the installation of hermits in the cliff. Originally a Romanesque abbey church erected by Guillaume Malet, it was largely endowed in the 13th century before the Augustinians came straight from the priory of Sainte-Barbe to settle.
Partly modified in the 17th century, the old abbey of Graville then saw its church separated into two parts, one for the parishioners and the other for the monks. It is still possible to admire a very beautiful Baroque altarpiece in the choir.
The old convent buildings from the 12th and 18th centuries now house the museum of the priory of Graville with beautiful religious statuary, among the finest collections in Normandy. Visitors can also discover collections of medieval lapidary elements, liturgical objects or even models of houses from the end of the 19th century. Terraced gardens surround the whole.
