Gezicht op de slaapzaal van de abdij te Mont Saint-Michel before 1897

This black and white photograph titled "Gezicht op de slaapzaal van de abdij te Mont Saint-Michel" by Ernest Goethals, taken before 1897, depicts the interior of the dormitory in the Mont Saint-Michel abbey. The long, narrow room is lined with arched windows, possibly inspired by the architecture of the East. The image captures the impressive scale and grandeur of the abbey’s architecture, as well as the monastic lifestyle of the monks who lived there.
