= = =This is Martin and Kristian's wiki about the Notre Dame Cathedral. =

The Notre Dame is an old Gothic Catholic cathedral in Paris, France. The name means our lady in French, and is one of the most iconic symbols in France.

The architect was Maurice de Sully, bishop of Paris. He decided to build a cathedral dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Although construction started in 1163, it was not completed until roughly 180 years later in about 1345. Built in an age of illiteracy, the cathedral retells the stories of the Bible in its portals, paintings, and stained glass.

The monument is mainly constucted out of stone, with wood to reinforce and for more delicate parts.
