Related: About this forumInside the monastary of Mont St. Michel
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.

I didn't notice many cracks that looked bad. There was one crack in a vault that they are monitoring.
