EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1904, showcases the breathtaking West Facade of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Rouen, France. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural grandeur of this magnificent structure, which was once the tallest building in the world, standing at a height of 151 meters from 1876-1880. The Notre-Dame Cathedral, also known as Cathedrale de Rouen, is a masterpiece of French Gothic architecture, dating back to the 13th and 15th centuries. The intricately designed West Facade is adorned with a myriad of details, including pointed arches, flying buttresses, and elaborate sculptures. The central portal, featuring the intricate depiction of the Last Judgment, is a testament to the late flamboyant Gothic style that characterizes this architectural marvel. The two iconic towers, known as the North and South Towers, rise majestically from the facade, adding to the cathedral's impressive silhouette. The towers, which were added in the 16th century, are each 81 meters tall and were once used as observation points to monitor the city of Rouen. The stunning beauty of the Notre-Dame Cathedral has captivated visitors for centuries, drawing admirers from all corners of the world. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the enduring allure of this medieval masterpiece that continues to inspire and captivate all who behold it.
