EDITORS COMMENTS
Abbey Mont-St-Michel, France: A Glimpse into the Merveille Courts of the Medieval Monastery (circa 1910s) The Abbey Mont-St-Michel, nestled on a small island 600 metres into the Mont St Michel Bay in Normandy, France, is an architectural and historical marvel that has captivated visitors for centuries. This iconic abbey, with its towering spire reaching towards the heavens, is not only renowned for its grandeur but also for the enigmatic Merveille courts, the living quarters of the monks who once resided within its walls. This evocative photograph, taken in the 1910s, offers a rare glimpse into the Merveille courts, revealing the intricacies of the medieval buildings that once housed the monks. The image showcases the harmonious blend of architectural styles, with the Gothic and Romanesque influences evident in the arches, columns, and intricate stonework. The monks' quarters, enclosed by high walls, appear serene and contemplative, reflecting the monastic life of prayer, study, and contemplation. The Merveille courts, with their labyrinthine layout, were designed to provide the monks with a sanctuary, a place to retreat from the world and focus on their spiritual pursuits. The buildings housed various functions, including dormitories, refectories, scriptoriums, and workshops. The monks' daily lives revolved around the rhythm of prayer, with the sound of their chants echoing through the corridors and courtyards. This photograph, from The Roseries Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the essence of the Merveille courts and the monastic life that once thrived within the walls of the Abbey Mont-St-Michel.
