The cathedral in Strasbourg, France is just beautiful. It's known as one of the most beautiful Gothic cathedrals in Europe. There are so many beautiful cathedrals in Europe it is really hard to say one is more beautiful than another but this one is quite lovely.
The Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg is a Roman Catholic Cathedral built in the Middle Ages. The Gothic architect, Erwin von Steinbach, worked on building this church from 1277 to his death in 1318. Of course, many other people were part of the construction since it took years to complete. Dates given for the construction are 1176 to 1439.
This cathedral was the world's tallest building from 1647 to 1874 and is now the 6th tallest church in the World.
This next photo is from the Internet that does a better job of showing the entire front of the cathedral.
Glad we didn't blow it up during the big one!
