Prieuré de l'Oiselière

Saint-Planchers, France

The Prieuré de l'Oiselière is a priory located at Saint-Planchers, near Granville, in France. Nestled in a valley bordering the watercourse that bears its name, surrounded by fortified walls and moats, its history dates back to the 12th century. It was a dependency of the abbots of Mont-Saint-Michel who organised the cultivation of the fields and the woods and collected taxes. It was also a local justice court. Restoration of the priory began in 1989, when it was classified as a Monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
