Comparing the Chartres cathedral and the Chartres tower of Our Lady of Chartres is one of the most beautiful and famous architectural samples in the world today. The cathedral has a beautiful silhouette as opposed to the sky of La Beauce. The two towers rise unmistakably and can be seen in the country's country mile in France. At close range, the two towers and their spire do not match or are irrelevant. But these two together constitute one of the most interesting juxtapositions in architecture. The Chartres cathedral has a long history of both tragedy and victory.
Chartres Cathedral, also known as the Church of Our Lady of Chartres (French: CathédraleNotre-Dame de Chartres), is about 50 miles southwest of Paris, the Roman Catholic Church in Chartres, France. Since Chartres became a bishop of the 4th century, it was built between 1194 and 1220 and occupied at least five cathedral cathedrals. It is Gothic style and Roman style. The cathedral is well preserved. Most of the windows of the original stained glass are untouched, the building has only changed slightly since the beginning of the 13th century. The building's appearance is dominated by a sturdy flight arch that allows architects to significantly increase the size of the windows. On the other hand, the west end consists of two contrasting spiers. In the old tower the gorgeous spire of the early 16th century (377 feet)
Half a century after the Gothic architecture was formed June 10, 1194, a fire destroyed the town of Chartres and Chartres. The only remaining part of the cathedral is the basement, the tower of the west and the entrance to the royal palace. The new Chartres cathedral is considered the first in Gothic style architecture. The high Gothic logo is the use of a flying buttress. Therefore, Romanesque style walls become unnecessary. The organic "flowing" quality inside the high Gothic style is enhanced by internal degradation, making the nave a separate, continuous space volume. The new Gothic Trinity High Ground has an arcade, 3 stories, big skylight. Because of these windows, there is more light than the early Gothic architecture.
