The Hermitage of Saint Gerbold in Normandy, France. Built as a church in the Middle Ages, it was transformed into a hermit's dwelling - a hermitage in the true sense of the word - in the 17th century. The last hermit died in 1840.

The village of Pazzano and the ancient Hermit of Santa Maria della Stella, Calabria, Italy
Pazzano is quaint little village situated between Monte Stella and Monte Consolino and it extends to the north to the lush green Serre mountains.
The most important thing to see in Pazzano is the Hermit of Santa Maria della Stella, an ancient byzantine hermitage sited in a natural cave on Monte Stella.
In the 11th century Byzantine monks lived in the sanctuary. Cristodulo was one of the first the Hegumen. In 1096, it became a minor monastery. In the Norman period it was converted to a Catholic monastery.
Inside the hermitage there is a 16th-century statue of Madonna in marble and Byzantine frescos representing saints.

Saint Guthlac was long thought to have plundered a barrow for his hermitage in Lincolnshire. Now new evidence shows his cult was based in an enormous Neolithic henge.
