A Brief History of Paris' Notre-Dame

Among the famous buildings in Paris, the capital of France is not missing, the Notre Dame Temple has the oldest and most rich history. This huge Gothic cathedral is 130 meters long, 48 meters wide, 35 meters high, with Îledela Cité's view over 850 years.

From the 11th century to the 12th century, Paris became the center of politics, economics and intelligence in France and the Seine's largest island became the center of the city. On 12th October 1160, Maurice de Sully went through a Parisian bishop office to dismantle the Saint Etienne Church and to express the intention to build a monument of the Virgin Mary in that place to reflect the new status of the capital did.

Three years later, the first stone was placed accompanied by the accompaniment of King Louis 7 and June and Alexander III III. The first building in the history of the building lasted about 200 years, and many of such architects contributed to such a new Gothic style such as Jean de Cher, Pierre de Montreuil, Pierre · De Shell, Jean Lavie. It was finally completed in 1345

In 1431, King Henry V in the UK crowned the king of France on December 16th in the centennial war This is one of the first major events in the story of Notre Dame. At the beginning of the year, the conflict robbed one of the most controversial people in French history, 19-year-old Arcan's Joan. In a survey on 7th July 1456, she found that she committed all the crimes and declared it to be a martyr. In 1909, she was blessed by Pope Pius X in the Cathedral of Notre Dame and became a saint in 11 years.

In the 16th century, the state of the cathedral worsened markedly, the grave and stained glass windows were destroyed under the name of modernization, the external features were removed and destroyed by idolatry. However, Robert DeCott led the renovation of the 17th century under the wish of Louis XIII. It was during this time that I got a famous organ and it works perfectly today.

When the French Revolution came to Paris, its destiny fell again. The church became a food and wine shop, and it was devastated. Many of that statue also lost their sense, but for the hammer instead of the guillotine

By the beginning of the 19th century the cathedral celebrated. But Napoleon rescued it from the ruins and crowned it as an emperor in December 1804. Between 1845 and 1870, necessary repairs were undertaken under the government of Louis Philippe I. Architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc and Jean-Baptiste Lassas oversee the fact that even though the partner died in 1857, the former had been working alone.

Fortunately, the rose windows of the 13th century were removed due to the fear of Nazi destruction and robbery, but the First World War brought no major harm to the Cathedral of Notre Dame. In the latter half of the 20th century, a more prudent modernization took place, including the mechanization of Emmanuel watches in the 13th century, thorough cleaning of outer walls and sculptures.

Unfortunately, however, like the many historic buildings in Paris, the French Revolution influenced the Virgin Cathedral and various aspects of the cathedral were destroyed. Except for Emmanuelle Bell, the 28 statues of the Kings gallery, and the statues of the main portal, all the bells of Notre Dame de Paris in Paris were destroyed. However, through the treaty with Napoleon Bonaparte I (known as the 1801 Concord), the status of the French-Roman Catholic Church is defined and the Notre Dame Cathedral is living a new life. They are in the works today.

The humpback whale of Notre Dame de Paris expresses its main theme using medieval history and the structure of Notre Dame Cathedral. Notre Dame de Paris is the geographical and moral center of fictional Paris in Hugo. The Cathedral encouraged Hugo to write a novel and encouraged his lifelong enthusiasm for Gothic art and architecture. Hugo is also a medieval Christian scholar and uses the history of his church, martyr, and saint as a background of fictitious behavior. The French title of this novel emphasizes the role as a symbol of the city of Notre Dame in the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Most of the content of the novel can monitor almost everyone in the city, not only inside or around the cathedral, but also from the top of the tower. In terms of architecture, it is "fusion" that reflects the anamorphic of Kajimodo.
