Cornwall's best-known historical landmark is undoubtedly St Michael's Mount, an island abbey connected to the mainland at Marazion by a cobbled causeway and completely cut off at high tide.
The first church was believed to have been founded on the island in the 5th century, although most of the present-day abbey is derived from a 12th-century chapel constructed by the same Benedictine monks who built Mont St Michel off the Normandy coast. The mount became an important place of pilgrimage throughout the Middle Ages, and briefly served as a fortress during the civil war. Since 1659 the mount has been the home of the St Aubyn family and has been open to the public since 1954 under the stewardship of the National Trust.
