The Benedictine Palace, a prestigious 19th century distillery

A majestic flamboyant building that stands out in Fécamp for its architecture and its liqueur of the same name. More than a sumptuous establishment, it is an institution rooted in the history of its port city.

The Palais Bénédictine is a building constructed at the end of the 19th century, a few minutes from the port of Fécamp. It is an establishment whose construction was requested under the order of Alexander the Great. A wine merchant, he would have with him the secret recipe of an elixir created and elaborated by the Benedictine monks of Fécamp. He then decided to build a building dedicated to the liqueur, which he later named Benedictine. Without hesitation, he asked to found a building without equal, a masterpiece that would bring to light the recipe of this liquor that seemed lost forever. And so it is that today a magnificent palace with resplendent colors stands only five minutes walk from our hotel with a view of the sea.

Our splendid Benedictine Palace is competing for the title of " Favorite Monument of the French 2023 "! Inside, you will be able to visit its museum but also its distillery which still produces Benedictine according to the rules and the traditional know-how.
