The Ministère de la Culture's notice

De l'ancien monastère, ne subsistent que deux corps de bâtiment disposés en équerre et remontant aux années 1660. Il s'agit d'une reconstruction due aux bénédictins dépendant de l'abbaye de Saint-Wandrille. En 1687, le couvent est vendu et les locaux sont transformés en hôtel Dieu.

Of the former monastery, only two blocks of buildings arranged in a right angle and dating from the 1660s remain. This is a reconstruction owing to the Benedictines dependent on the abbey of Saint-Wandrille. In 1687, the convent is sold and the premises are converted into a Hôtel Dieu.
