Mont Saint Michel Castle is located on a small island in the northwest of France, in Saint-Malo Bay, and is an extremely famous “human beauty”. It is called the “castle on the sea” because it is located in the middle of the vast ocean. Every time dusk falls, the tide rises and hides the ground. The fairy tale castle seems to be located in the middle of a beautiful oasis in the vast sky and sea, and is also full of mystery.

The castle “floats” between the sea and the clouds

What captivates visitors is the “mechanism” of Mont Saint Michel’s appearance. During the day, this is a normal castle with lush green walkways. Only in the afternoon, when the tide rises, water surrounds Mont Saint Michel, turning it into a poetic and romantic floating castle. Mixed with the sunlight at sunset, the landscape resembles a wonderland.

Visitors can go to the castle by road during the day and by boat in the evening

This ancient building was originally built more than a thousand years ago, around 708, and was originally the first Church built by Bishop Aubert. Around the castle there are many small houses with residents living. In 1421, a great fire completely destroyed the town and church. In the early 16th century, France began rebuilding the castle with the Saint Michel monastery on top. In 2015, this location continued to be overhauled again and increasingly attracted tourists from all over.

This incredibly beautiful “castle on the sea” is always among the most beautiful castles on the planet and was recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage site in 1979.

Not only beautiful from the outside, Mont Saint Michel is also beautiful in every detail inside. The entire massive structure was built in the Gothic architectural style. Not only has tourist value, this place is also a museum of culture and history of an entire era of hundreds of years.
