Notre-Dame de Paris is a medieval
Catholic cathedral on the Île de la Cité in the fourth arrondissement of Paris.
The cathedral is widely considered to be one of the finest examples of French
Gothic architecture, and is among the largest and most well-known church
buildings in the world. The naturalism of its sculptures and stained glass are
in contrast with earlier Romanesque architecture.
As the
cathedral of the Archdiocese of Paris, Notre-Dame contains the cathedra of the
Archbishop of Paris. The cathedral treasury contains a reliquary which houses
some of Catholicism's most important relics, including the purported Crown of
Thorns, a fragment of the True Cross, and one of the Holy Nails.
In the 1790s, Notre-Dame suffered desecration in
the radical phase of the French Revolution when much of its religious imagery
was damaged or destroyed. An extensive restoration supervised by Eugène
Viollet-le-Duc began in 1845. A project of further restoration and maintenance
began in 1991. More on Notre-Dame Cathedral
