The tallest building in medieval Europe - Strasbourg Cathedral in France

In the morning, the Matthew couple have their own things to do, they agreed to eat together at a Michelin restaurant in Petite France at twelve o'clock, we just strolled around, there are armed anti-terrorism patrol soldiers on the street, very safe. Strasbourg Cathedral was started in 1176 and was not completed until 1439. It is mainly built of pink sandstone. The top of the front is a 142-meter-high spire, the round windows and stone flower edges are ingenious, and the three porches are also decorated with exquisite statues. The huge stained glass decoration inside is beautiful, Hugo described it as 'a building that combines huge and delicate, amazing', it was the tallest building in medieval Europe for a long time, the tallest building in many European cities is the church, symbolizing their 'God' is above all. Of course, it can also be interpreted as, faith is supreme. Strasbourg Cathedral Petite France
