A text from 1312 recalls an oratory in the Monistrol region dedicated to Saint Madeleine. This may be today's cave chapel.
Bones of women and children as well as coins from the beginning of the 17th century were found in the graves carved into the rock to the right and left of the chapel.

Eiffel Bridge, Monistrol-d'Allier

Highlight • Bridge

You wouldn't expect to find an Eiffel bridge in the heart of Haute-Loire! The Eiffel company obtained the contract in 1887 for the construction of this bridge over the Allier river. It was completed in 1888, just after the construction of the Garabit viaduct and the framework for the Statue of Liberty in New York.

This structure helped to open up the village, while also providing it with an important economic network. The transport of materials, previously impossible in this mountainous and very isolated area at the time, was now feasible. The bridge was restored in the 2000s to maintain the local economy.
