Notre-Dame is also known for its stained glass windows, in particular, three rose windows, the smallest of which is almost 29 feet in diameter. The original glass was replaced in the 19th century. Not just a thing of beauty, it was also quite functional. Notre-Dame had 1,240 gargoyles on its exterior walls and rain spouts built right into the architecture. In April of 2019 Notre-Dame experienced a tragic fire that took the famous spire and roof. There is some good news for visitors to Notre-Dame. The copper statues on the exterior, the main structure, the façade, towers, walls, buttresses, and stained glass were all kept intact by firefighters. The organ that has more than 8,000 pipes and 115 stops were also saved. There will once again be music emanating through the open doors in the future.
Notre-Dame celebrated its 850th anniversary in 2013. Many events were organized and the cathedral got eight new bells and a new great bell. An interesting and noteworthy fact is that road distances in Paris are calculated from point 0 in the cathedral's forecourt.
Notre-Dame de Paris, or Notre-Dame for short, is a Catholic cathedral in Paris. It has been one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture for over 850 years and is a world-renowned symbol of the city. Many of the cathedral’s sculptures were destroyed hundreds of years ago, but Napoleon had the church restored to its original splendor in the latest Neoclassical style and whitewashed in time to hold his coronation as Emperor there.
