The abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel is a unique building: its plan is unlike that of any other monastery. Constrained by the pyramidal shape of the Mount, its medieval builders
rapped the buildings around the granite rock.
Built in the early decades of the year 1000, The abbey church, situated at the top, eighty metres above sea level, stands on crypts that create a platform eighty metres long designed to take the weight of a church.
