About St. Michael's Mount. St. Michael's Mount is the Cornish counterpart of the famous Mont St. Michel in France, gifted to the Benedictines of Mont St. Michel by Edward the Confessor. Some of the buildings on the island date back to the 1100s, and it's believed that it may have been a monastery even for a few centuries before that.. St Michael's Mount is a small tidal island in Cornwall's Mount's Bay, England, and is linked to the town of Marazion by a man-made causeway only passable at mid or low tide.Since 1650, the medieval castle and chapel complex has been the home of the St Aubyn family, although today, the island is jointly managed by the St Aubyns and the National Trust.
