Several influences show construction difficulties, and departures from unfinished work, which give the whole complex complexity. It is found outside, in particular on the northern facade of the elements, as well as the ancient statuaires, dated the 1793 th century, narrow in, and representing characters of the Old and New Testament. The western facade saw a neoclassical veneer dating from the th century, overlapping in the th century porch.
