Scene Description: Source caption: "Ancienne abbaye de Barbery, dépendant de l'ordre Cistercien, fondée en 1140 par l'abbaye de Savigny (manche) et dotée de ce territoire par la famille seigneuriale de Marmion, elle fut réformée au XVIIème par Dom Louis Quinet et définitivement abandonnée par les moines au début de la révolution. Un peu à l'écart au bord du chemin, le grand bâtiment du XIIIème sans doute l'ancien logis abbatial, devenu une hôtellerie."
