Strasbourg Cathedral de Notre-Dame is known as one of the most beautiful gothic cathedrals in Europe.
Described as "a skilful combination of monumental size and delicateness" by Victor Hugo,
its facade offers a fantastic wealth of ornamental features. The 142 m spire is a masterpiece of architectural elegance and intricacy.
Up until the 19th century, the cathedral was the highest building in the whole of the Christian world. (Source: Strasbourg Tourist Info)
