I may be an atheist, but I am also a lover of architecture, history, and beauty, so this is just terrible. I was really hoping to be able to see it in my lifetime, but looks like that is now out the question, at least as far as seeing it in all of its glory.
My feelings as well. The mood here at the Big Cat`s house (NOT the CATHOUSE) is very somber as a result of this. Just tragic and very very sad.
Today, everybody is French and everybody is Catholic.
Not me bro. Never did have a lot of time for monuments erected to wilful ignorance and superstition. If the Church had spent as much on the poor as they do on places like that, it would be a much better world.
Started in the 11th century, completed in the 13th.
Got to see it in 2015.
Similar to Köln Cathedral. Work started in in 1248 but was stopped in 1473 with the Dom unfinished. They started working again in the 1840s, and completed it in 1880.
It is one of my favorite places, especially with the sun through the painted windows.
Terrible news.
Hopefully most of the historical items have been saved, including Jesus Christ's Crown of Thorns.
France will rebuild this great church, no doubt about that.
