Closed of course. It was rebuilt from ruins in 1975. Behind there is a table for a rest and a great view over the countryside.

Saint-Martin du Canigou Abbey.

Highlight • Religious Site

Saint-Martin-du-Canigou is a monastery at 1100 meters above sea level on the slopes of the Pic du Canigou (2784 m). The first church was consecrated here in 1009, but the monastery fell into disrepair in the 18th century and was only rebuilt at the beginning of the 20th century.
To get a spectacular view of the complex on the mountain spur in the steep, rocky surroundings, climb the stairs behind the monastery to the viewing point.

Quite a violent start 2.5km 300D+ and 2.5km descent but no difficulty because concrete track to the Abbey.
The Abbey has been made of rough stone for 1000 years, nothing magnificent but pure natural.
A must-see on foot by bike, be careful it's uphill (gravel mountain bike).

July 17, 2023,Abbaye Saint-Martin du Canigou Runde von Casteil - Aufstieg

Steep path, on a narrow street, which is also used by residents
boot up. Partly in the forest, otherwise very sunny.
The upper section with a view of the abbey is worthwhile. However, the path is unpaved and rather mountainous. You should be sure-footed. Reasonably suitable, even if you don't have a head for heights, as the upper area is …

Today I set foot on Pyrenean soil for the first day. As it is this year, I wear the rain. (Way back was in the rain) Not so bad if that was the last time.

May 1, 2022,Abtei Saint-Mar tin du Canigou Auf- und Abstieg mit Besichtigung und ein Stück vergessen wieder einzustellen 🙈

After a somewhat steep ascent we reached the Abbey of Saint-Martin du Canigou, which is still run by Benedictines today. Located in the middle of the mountains, we had a guided tour by Sister Gabriela, who told us about life and work in the order. The descent (unfortunately forgot to turn Komoot on again 🙈😏) was a little more relaxed
