The 13th-16th Century Ruins of Prieuré de Firfol: A Possible Link to the Norman

The Prieuré de Firfol, a 13th-16th century priory in Calvados, France, is a fascinating ruin. Built around the end of the 13th or the beginning of the 14th century, the priory had ties to Abbaye Notre-Dame de Cormeilles and was inscribed on the French Monuments Historiques list in 1927. By the 21st century, the priory was in ruins, but the chapel, the remaining part of the priory, was in good condition in the mid-19th century despite being used for storing farm fodder. The chapel had a straight chancel, a window with a round arch, and was built with care. The south side had two ogival windows. The building was made of moëllons with stone used for sensitive parts such as angles, contreforts, cornices, and window surrounds. The vault is in merrain.
