Notre-Dame Cathedral

The Île de la Cité, in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, is home to the medieval Catholic cathedral known simply as Notre-Dame. One of the best specimens of French Gothic architecture is the cathedral, which is devoted to the Virgin Mary. It differs from the older Romanesque style in a number of ways, including the innovative use of the rib vault and flying buttress, the enormous and vibrant rose windows, and the naturalism and profusion of its sculptural embellishment.

The early 17th century saw the construction of the late Gothic Notre-Dame Cathedral (Kathedral Notre-Dame) in Luxembourg City, which was later embellished with a variety of lovely Renaissance elements. The musical features of Notre Dame are especially noteworthy, particularly its three pipe organs, one of which is historic, and its enormous church bells. The two original choir bays from 1621, as well as its three distinctive towers, one of which, the west tower, dates from the same period, are notable aspects of what is the nation's only cathedral.

The intricately carved Baroque angels around the organ tribune, which also date to the early 1600s, are of importance as well. In the cathedral graveyard is a somber memorial honoring the nation's World War II resistance movement and those who were deported. Catholic visitors should think about going to the Sunday evening service at the cathedral. The Archbishop of Paris generally takes part in this regular liturgy.
