THE CHURCH HAS GONE THROUGH MANY PHASES... FROM PRIMITIVE CHRISTIAN TO ROMANESQUE TO GOTHIC... UNTIL FINALLY IT WAS CONVERTED TO A PRISON AFTER THE REVOLUTION. IT STAYED THAT WAY UNTIL THE MIDDLE 1870'S. DEVOID OF ANY REAL ART WORK (LOOTED BY THOSE REVOLUTIONARIES NO DOUBT), THE BEAUTY OF MONT St MICHELE IS MORE EXTERNAL THAN INTERNAL.
