Inside the monastary of Mont St. Michel

[Old Crank]

This structure was placed on top of the hill. The hill was not leveled to accept the church and monastery. Some impressive stone work at the corners to hold the thing up. In many places you can see the symbols carved into the stones that showed who made each block. The men were paid by piece work.

2. Beautiful photos! Is the foundation starting to crack because of the uneven ground it sits on?

[Old Crank]

12. I don't think they touched the top

I'm pretty sure they squared up the areas at the corners.
I didn't notice many cracks that looked bad. There was one crack in a vault that they are monitoring.

And St. Michael is so kick ass!

[Old Crank]

14. He certainly got the attention

of the Friar.
The old burning a hole in your head will do that.
