Case Study

Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris (FR)

Notre-Dame de Paris, France


The Roman Catholic church Notre-Dame de Paris is one of the most important landmarks in France. It was built between 1163 and 1345 in the historic center of Paris, located on the right arm of the Seine. In a major fire in April 2019, the cathedral suffered severe damage inside and out. A faithful reconstruction of the world cultural heritage site was commissioned in July of the same year.

Short description
