Its origins date back to the 6th century, when the future Saint Leonard worked in the region. In 1087, William the Conqueror granted the fief of Vains to the Abbey of Saint-Étienne in Caen, which subsequently founded the priory. The building dates back to the 11th century and has been restored several times over the centuries. Today, the priory serves as a holiday accommodation.
