What will happen to Notre Dame de Paris?

#mysteriousincredible What will happen to Notre-Dame de Paris?

The fire of 2019 shook the world as the symbol of France began to burn. The cathedral officially opened in December 2024, with finishing work scheduled to be completed by 2030.

Throughout its 900-year history, the cathedral has been completely restored twice.

In the late 18th century, as a result of the French Revolution, the spire and various interior statues were destroyed, and the bronze bells were melted down. In the mid-19th century, Victor Hugo gave the cathedral a new lease of life with his work "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc, an influential French architect, undertook restoration. The original medieval spire and bell tower above the transept were restored, and new statues of saints, gargoyles, and chimeras were created.

The 2019-2030 restoration will preserve the cathedral's historic appearance. The work will lighten the walls, install a new lighting system, and improve the transparency of the stained-glass windows. We expect to see a renovated Notre Dame Cathedral that retains the spirit of its past.
