Download the programme Useful informations Useful informations The Abbaye-aux-Dames The Normandy World Peace Forum welcomes you to the heart of the Abbaye-aux-Dames in Caen, seat of the Normandy Region. The Abbaye-aux-Dames, like the Abbaye aux Hommes, seat of the City of Caen, was created by Duke William and his wife Mathilde of Flanders in the 11th century, making Caen a centerpiece of the Duchy of Normandy, a few steps from a powerful castle. After seven centuries of Benedictine presence, the French Revolution marked a turning point in the history of the Abbaye-aux-Dames. Having become national property, it will be in turn barracks (1792-1809), baggars house (1809-1818), Hôtel-Dieu (1823-1908) and finally hospice Saint-Louis until 1984. The park Michel d'Ornano (1992), already existing at the time of the abbey, whose rows of lime trees are classified, is dominated by an imposing cedar of Lebanon planted in December 1849. By choosing to settle in these magnificent buildings completely rebuilt in the eighteenth century, the Normandy Region has returned to one of the most beautiful pages in its history. Access to the site Visitor entry is via Place Reine Mathilde or boulevard Clemenceau, facing Rue du Clos Beaumois. Twisto stops nearby (Rue Basse, Tour Leroy, Reine Mathilde).
