The Montaigu chapel stands on one of the region's most prestigious peaks. The current chapel was built in 1402 by the lords of the Château du Rocher.
Built in 1402, just like the hermitage whose ruins can still be seen at the foot of the chapel, it was dedicated to St-Michel and welcomed pilgrims on their way to Mont-Saint-Michel. Occupied until 1840, the hermitage housed a bread oven and a cellar, and in the walled garden stood a long, narrow building used as a shelter for pilgrims. The granite altar is also original, contrasting with the modern stained glass windows.
