Fontaine Saint-Aubert, Medieval fountain at Mont-Saint-Michel, France
The stone fountain features a conical tower with an ogival vault and pediment, situated on the northern side of Mont-Saint-Michel.
The fountain emerged in the 8th century when Saint Aubert discovered a freshwater source that supplied the monastery until the 15th century.
Local traditions attribute the fountain's origin to Saint Aubert's prayer, resulting in an angel revealing the water source beneath a stone.
The fountain structure, dating from 1757, requires renovation work to maintain its stability and preserve its architectural elements.
This fortified water source connected to the monastery through a protected stairway, with remnants still visible in the Petit-Bois area.
