Saint-Vigor Priory

Saint-Vigor Priory, formerly Saint-Vigor Abbey (French: Prieuré Saint-Vigor; Abbaye Saint-Vigor-le-Grand), was a Benedictine monastery in the town of Saint-Vigor-le-Grand in Calvados, Normandy, France.

Its foundation is attributed to Saint Vigor, bishop of Bayeux in the first third of the 6th century.

[1] It was destroyed in the late 10th century by the invading Normans.

[2] In the late 11th century Odo, bishop of Bayeux, attempted a revival of the monastery as an independent abbey but it was not successful, and in the 1090s the community was made a dependent priory of the Abbey of St. Benignus, Dijon.
