The Saint-Martin du Canigou Abbey, founded in the year 1001 by a Count of Cerdagne, is located in the heart of the Canigou massif, on a 1,094 meter high rocky outcrop over the Cady valley.

This oasis of peace is nestled in beautiful, peaceful and green surroundings, and can only be reached on foot from the village of Casteil, after a climb of approximately 40 minutes.

Saint Martin, to whom this abbey church in the French Pyrenees is dedicated, is probably one of the most popular saints of all, along with Saint Nicholas. The memorial day of the former officer in the Roman army is on November 11th. On the night after the famous "dividing of the cloak", when he leaves half his army cloak to a freezing beggar, Jesus Christ appears to him in a dream. He then converted to Christianity and was later elected bishop of Tours (France), initially against his will.
Many are likely to have fond childhood memories of making lanterns in kindergarten and elementary school, the evening lantern procession through the dark village / district - and of course the delicious "Weckmann".
