Great article! I've visited Notre Dame many times and was truly saddened to see the images of it burning. I look forward to visiting the re-built cathedral soon. Thank you for this concise and informative history!
This is a great article. As a protestant, I still love the history of the church and the magnificence of this building. I hope to see it in person some day.
However, the painting allegedly depicting the 15th century Ile de la Cite must have been created much later, as the spire wasn’t added until the 18th century (according to what I’ve read).
Appreciate your work! Just want to share a slightly different angle I just wrote about, in case it's of interest....Josef Pieper on the bells of Notre-Dame and leisure.
I think Jesus would be very pleased at the honor to His mom - saying this as one taught young: "Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grace. Le Seigneur est avec vous..." by Sister Julie Regina, S.N.D.

Great timing with the shakeup in France today
Apparently, according to cnn, the startbofbthe fire is still "mysterious". Hmm
What a great essay! I hope to visit the Cathedral someday. I am glad it was saved.
Just visited Notre Dame in Paris. Remarkable history and glorious restoration. Thank you for this historical reminder.
Stop the AI content. It's hollow.

Amazing. I love your articles.
Keep it up!
This is such a historic and beautiful building and I am glad that it has been restored. I hope that these church burnings stop.

While it is a beautiful building, if you want it to be a church… you have to worship Jesus, the Messiah, there.
