The dam, too, can be considered a landmark, and tourists who want to get to the island will receive a portion of adrenaline, crossing it, surrounded by the raging sea. Unlike other French castles, the powerful Mon Saint-Michel is not a defensive structure, but serves religious purposes, that is, it is a monastery. Its architecture is no less interesting than history. The main church is built in the Romanesque style by Italian architect. In the 11th century, the castle was equipped with powerful walls, from which today an enchanting view of the surroundings opens, and in the 12th, the monastery was decorated with various extensions in the Gothic style. In 1979, Mon Saint-Michel was included in the lists of UNESCO.
