La Haye-D'ectot: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture and History

In La Haye-d'Ectot stands the Calvary of La Taille. It consists of a granite base and a monolithic granite cross. It can be found on the Route Croix de la Taille, just before the river when walking downhill from the town centre. On 3 September 1980, the Calvary was placed under heritage protection as a protected monument.

The Priory of La Taille was founded in La Haye-d'Ectot in the 12th century by Jourdain de Barneville. Jourdain de Barneville handed the priory over to the Abbaye du Vœu in Cherbourg. The holder of the Priory of La Taille was also the parish priest.

A la Taille-Danseurs à la fin du temps is regarded in La Haye-d'Ectot as a multidisciplinary venue for exhibitions of contemporary art and performances of the performing arts in a rural setting.
