Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-Strasbourg

The Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-Strasbourg is defined by a single, towering spire that reaches one hundred forty-two meters into the sky. Built from distinct pink sandstone sourced from the Vosges mountains, the cathedral displays a striking asymmetrical silhouette because the second planned tower was never constructed. This structure served as the tallest building in the world from sixteen forty-seven until eighteen seventy-four.
