Comment

It boasts the world's highest Gothic choir (48.50 m) under vaulted ceiling. From 1569 to 1573, Beauvais Cathedral, with its 153-meter tower, was the tallest man-made structure in the world. Its designers had the ambition of making it the largest Gothic cathedral in France, ahead of Amiens. Victim of two collapses, one in the 13th century, the other in the 14th, it remains unfinished today, with only the choir and transept having been built. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cath%C3%A9drale_Saint-Pierre_de_Beauvais
