Comment

It was built in the early 13th century, for the most part in thirty years, on the ruins of an earlier Romanesque cathedral, itself destroyed by fire in 1194. Subsequent additions were made, such as the 16th-century north spire. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathédrale_Notre-Dame_de_Chartres
