Nestled off the coast of Normandy is Mont-Saint-Michel, a magical site that dates back to the Middle Ages. Wrapped in a picturesque village and topped with a sky-high tower, this tidal island looks like it has been plucked from the pages of a storybook.
As soon as the monks settled down and the construction of the Romanesque abbey church began according to tradition in 1023, the Mount became an essential place of pilgrimage in the entire Christian West. They came to ask Saint Michael for protection and salvation of their souls.
Mont Saint-Michel history. A settlement in Roman times, Mont Saint-Michel was later a stronghold of the Romano-Bretons until it was destroyed by the invading Franks. The area was to see a revival in the early eighth century when a church was built on the site.
In the 12th century the monastery on the island was rebuilt by Bernard, the abbot of Mont-Saint-Michel. Of these monastic buildings, the refectory is the chief survival. The Chapel of St. Michael dates from the 15th century.
Learn how the Mont Saint-Michel was built over 1,300 years ago by Benedictines, from a dream vision of the archangel Michael to a fortress against the English, from a prison to a tourist attraction. Discover the origins, the architectural feats, the stories and the renovations of this timeless rock in Normandy.
