The Abbaye aux Dames, also known as the Abbey of Sainte-Trinité or the Holy Trinity Abbey, is a nearly one-thousand-year-old Benedictine convent located in Caen, France. Despite losing its original spires during the Hundred Years War, the abbey has endured through centuries of history. Today, visitors can explore the historic site, which now houses the Regional offices for Lower Normandy, and appreciate the architectural resilience and historical significance of this ancient structure.
