Description
Notre-Dame de Paris - 04 by Andrea Mazzocchetti
Notre-Dame de Paris is the main Catholic place of worship in Paris.
Located in the eastern part of the Île de la Cité, in the heart of the French capital, in the square of the same name, it is one of the most famous Gothic buildings in the world and one of the most visited monuments in Paris.
Under the French Law on the Separation of State and Church of 1905, the building is owned by the French State, like all other cathedrals built by the Kingdom of France, and its use is assigned to the Catholic Church.
The cathedral, a minor basilica since 27 February 1805, has been a historical monument of France since 1862 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991.
While undergoing renovation and restoration, the cathedral caught fire on 15 April 2019 and sustained significant damage, including the destruction of the spire and two-thirds of the roof. French President Emmanuel Macron announced that Notre-Dame will be rebuilt, stating "It's part of the fate, the destiny of France, and our common project over the coming years. And I am committed to it.
