The remains of the former priory were classified as a historic monument on 3 December 1906.
The former priory is also known as the “Grange Dixmière”.
The former priory is separated from the Church of Saint-Nicolas by a lane.
The Church of Saint-Nicolas has a Greek-cross floor plan with a single nave bay, a transept, a chancel bay and a semicircular apse.
Romanesque fragments of wall paintings were discovered in the southern transept arm of the Church of Saint-Nicolas in 1968.

Nature and Trails
The communal lands of Les Magnils-Reigniers include a shepherd’s hut, a canal and ditches.
The communal marshes are natural, flood-prone meadows with a great diversity of fauna and flora.
The yellow-marked “Les Charrières” footpath begins at the barrier of the communal lands of Les Magnils-Reigniers; parking is available at the Les Noues car park.
The “Les Charrières” trail runs through the heart of the meadow and offers insight into the diversity of its flora and fauna, including migratory birds.
The hike along the “Les Charrières” trail takes more than two hours and passes through the so-called “wet” marshland.
Every year in April, Les Magnils-Reigniers holds the opening of the communal lands, also known as the “ouverture des communaux” or “toucher du communal”. At that time, the communal lands accommodate cows and horses.
Forest
The Forêt de Barbetorte covers a total of 85 hectares.
It includes extensive oak stands and broad riding avenues where walkers can explore the area.
The Forêt de Barbetorte is known for its ecological richness, particularly for the presence of reptiles and amphibians.
