Origin and history

The old walls and gardens Saint-Aubert du Mont-Saint-Michel are a monument located in the emblematic commune of Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy. Their existence is attested, but the available sources do not specify their construction period or initial function. These remains are part of a landscape marked by the medieval and religious history of the site, dominated by the Abbey.

Mont-Saint-Michel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has always been a place of pilgrimage and strategic defence. The walls and gardens, like other elements of the local heritage, reflect the spatial and social organization of the community over the centuries. Their preservation allows to evoke agricultural practices, fortifications or monacal living spaces, typical of medieval religious groups.
