Description
Strasbourg Cathedral. Selfie. France.
Strasbourg Cathedral
Strasbourg Cathedral or the Cathedral of Our
Lady of Strasbourg, also known as Strasbourg
Minster, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in
Strasbourg, Alsace, France. Although
considerable parts of it are still in
Romanesque architecture, it is widely
considered to be among the finest examples of
high, or late, Gothic architecture. Erwin von
Steinbach is credited for major contributions
from 1277 to his death in 1318.
At 142 metres (466 feet), it was the world's
tallest building from 1647 to 1874 (227 years),
when it was surpassed by St. Nikolai's Church,
Hamburg. Today it is the sixth-tallest church
in the world and the highest extant structure
built entirely in the Middle Ages.
Described by Victor Hugo as a "gigantic and
delicate marvel", and by Goethe as a "sublimely
towering, wide-spreading tree of God", the
cathedral is visible far across the plains of
Alsace and can be seen from as far off as the
Vosges Mountains or the Black Forest on the
other side of the Rhine. Sandstone from the
Vosges used in construction gives the cathedral
its characteristic pink hue.
