Maison Verte (cad. 109, 110): by order of 4 April 1938

Origin and history

La Maison Verte is an iconic monument located at Mont-Saint-Michel in the Manche department in Normandy. This building, whose construction period is not specified in the available sources, has been classified as historical monuments since 1938. Its architecture and history remain partially documented, but its protected status reflects its local and national heritage significance.

At Mont-Saint-Michel, historical buildings such as the Maison Verte are part of a medieval and post-medieval context marked by a community life centered around the abbey and activities related to religious and then cultural tourism. The houses of that time were often used as houses, shops or places of passage for pilgrims and visitors. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the urban and social evolution of this exceptional site, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
