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. The island was originally called Mont-Tombe but became known as Mont-Saint-Michel in the 8th century, when St. Aubert, bishop of Avranches, built an oratory there after having a vision of the archangel St. Michael. It rapidly became a pilgrimage centre, and in 966 a Benedictine abbey was built there. W 1794 roku na szczycie wieży dzwonniczej została zainstalowana stacja telegrafu optycznego. Tym samym Mont Saint-Michel zostało włączone w szlak linii telegraficznej z Paryża do Brestu . W 1835 roku więzienie zostało poddane oględzinom architekta Eugène Viollet-le-Duca. gALdkRe. 362 319 93 393 7 245 448 252 211
