    Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-Strasbourg

    Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-Strasbourg

    Strasbourg's Notre-Dame Cathedral, a true Gothic pearl, was built from pink Vosgian sandstone between 1176 and 1439. As was often the case with temples built over several centuries, only one tower lacked religious inspiration, money, and time.
    The tower was completed in 1439 by Cologne architect Johannes Hultz. The open worked spire at a height of 142 m is crowned with a double cross. The famous sculpture of the double portals of the southern transept, including two female figures (the Church and the Synagogue), symbolizing the triumph of Christianity and the retreat of Judaism, has survived from the previous Romanesque building.
    Special attention should be paid to the so-called columns of Angels, with an unusual image of the Last Judgment and astronomical clock of the XVI century. Every day at 12:30 p.m. the figures move, and the apostles move in succession before Christ.
    Here, as elsewhere in France, many figures suffered during the revolution. Some have been replaced by copies, and the originals are kept next to each other, in the Cathedral Museum, which also houses works of art from other Alsace temples.
