Logis Tiphaine de Raguenel: a 14th-century monument on Mont-Saint-Michel

Built in 1365, the Logis Tiphaine de Raguenel is a historic building on Mont-Saint-Michel said to have housed Bertrand Du Guesclin.

Located in the Manche department on the commune of Mont-Saint-Michel, the Logis Tiphaine de Raguenel is a historic building situated north of the Saint-Pierre church. The monument dates back to 1365 and is said to have housed Bertrand Du Guesclin - who was a captain of Pontorson and Mont-Saint-Michel at the time - and his wife, the astrologer Tiphaine Raguenel.

The building was restored and remodeled in the 19th century and is currently owned by the La Mère Poulard group. Its facades and rooftops have been listed as historical monuments since 1928.

Today, the site functions as an écomusée. It is a historic building that is part of the historical heritage of the island.
