Composite transverse section of Notre-Dame de Paris before the 2019 fire. Timber framework is shown in red, masonry in blues, and metal in grey. On the left is a tower, displaying the internal framework of the belfry (bells not shown). In the center is the nave, covered by a masonry vault and a 55-degree triangular roof, with the spire visible above and behind. On the right are side aisles, the triforium aisle above, and flying buttresses. The vaults thrust outwards on the walls, while the flying buttresses thrust inwards; unless these forces balance, the wall may be pushed over. Black arrows indicate the force of the structure's weight being transmitted to the ground, green arrows indicate the upwards force of the ground supporting the structure, and orange and grey arrows show the forces in the wood and metal of the roof trusses. Roof trusses cancel out their outwards forces using internal tension, as masonry cannot support tension. Light is added for clarity.

Notre-Dame de Paris

Paris, France

Notre-Dame de Paris stands as a remarkable example of early Gothic architecture. Its original design dates back to the 12th century, yet construction was not fully completed until the 14th century. Over the centuries, the cathedral has witnessed many changes, providing an impressive record of the evolving Gothic style. One distinct feature is the west, or main, portal, which is noted for its unusual rigidity compared to the more fluid lines found elsewhere in Gothic design.

A Story of Ruin and Renewal

In April 2019, a major fire caused severe damage to Notre-Dame. Flames swept through the historic structure, destroying the wooden roof and leading to the collapse of the spire. The event left many parts of the cathedral in ruins and shocked people around the world.

Restoration efforts began soon after the fire. Expert craftsmen and workers spent years repairing the damage, preserving every detail possible. After extensive renovation, Notre-Dame de Paris welcomed visitors once again when it reopened in December 2024.
