Vintage Notre Dame Cathedral of Paris

Notre Dame de Paris means Our Lady of Paris.  This Gothic Catholic cathedral is considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architectural in all of Europe.  Construction began in 1163 and was completed in 1345.  During the French Revolution in the 1790's much of the cathedral was destroyed.  Extensive restoration returned the cathedral to its original Gothic state.  

Historic events held inside the Notre Dame Cathedral:

4-28-1558 Mary, Queen of Scots was married there
12-2-1804 Napolean's coronation
