About Saint-Aubert Chapel
The Chapelle Saint-Aubert is a small 12th-century Romanesque chapel perched on a rocky outcrop at the northwestern edge of Mont-Saint-Michel. Built around 1154-1186 under Abbot Robert de Torigni, it honors Bishop Aubert of Avranches, who founded the abbey in 708 AD after receiving visions from Archangel Michael. The chapel stands on the legendary site where a sacred stone toppled after the bishop's prayers.

According to the 9th-century text 'Revelatio ecclesiae sancti Michaelis', the Archangel Michael appeared to Bishop Aubert three times in dreams. When Aubert hesitated to build the sanctuary, the archangel pressed his finger on the bishop's forehead, leaving a hole in his skull. This relic with the mysterious hole is preserved in the Basilica of Saint-Gervais in Avranches and has been scientifically dated to 660-770 AD.
