The mausoleum contains 11,956 bodies of German soldiers, a poignant and unique site in France, near Mont-Saint-Michel.

Inaugurated in 1963, this mausoleum brings together 11,956 bodies of German soldiers who fell in the Second World War. They come from many different battlefields. The atmosphere of the place is particularly poignant. In the 68 crypts spread over two floors, the names of the victims are engraved on bronze plaques. Sometimes, only "Ein deutscher Soldat" (a German soldier) is engraved. This is the only German ossuary in France, located 5 kilometers from Mont-Saint-Michel.

Un endroit chargé d'émotion...
Ici plus de 11000 allemands y reposent, qu'ils soient soldats, femmes, enfants...
Le lieu est sobre et appelle au recueillement.

Endroit découvert par hasard en repartant du Mont Saint-Michel. Je ne connais pas les cimetières du Débarquement mais je suis du Limousin et cet endroit m'a fait penser à Oradour-Sur-Glane pour l'atmosphère à la fois paisible et tragique, un lieu de Mémoire hors du temps qui donne à réfléchir, surtout quand on est jeune. Un grand respect pour ces combattants qui à l'époque étaient "l'ennemi" mais qui sont morts pour beaucoup à un âge inférieur au mien. Et un grand merci à ceux et celles qui travaillent à cet endroit et participent au devoir de mémoire.
