Chapelle Saint Etienne, Abbey, Mont-Saint-Michel
Chapelle Saint Etienne, or St Stephen's Chapel, built in the 8th century (and so one of the earliest Christian sanctuaries) with later 13th century rib vaulting, part of the Romanesque abbey on Mont-Saint-Michel or St Michael's Mount, a fortified tidal island, Normandy, Northern France. The chapel served as a mortuary chapel and beneath the archway is a Pieta sculpture where there was a stone bath used for washing the dead. Mont-Saint-Michel is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and its abbey and many other buildings are historic monuments. Picture by Manuel Cohen
