9 Feb 1193 Jahr - Chartres Cathedral

Beschreibung:

CHARTRES 1194-1230
It is the site of 5 previous cathedrals and is listed as a world heritage site as a 'masterpiece of French gothic art.' It is known for its flying buttresses (allowing for the building's substantial height), two massive spires, and 3 great facades (showcasing hundreds of sculptures depicting theological themes).

Fun fact:

This cathedral used 34 meter high stone vaults - which were higher and wider than any other attempt in French architectural history.
