rouen cathedral


The Rouen Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, stands as a testament to the rich religious and architectural history of Normandy. Its three distinct towers, the Tour Saint-Romain, the butter tower, and the cast iron spire of the Tour de Beurre, each exhibit unique styles that span different periods of Gothic architecture. This cathedral has also been immortalized in a series of paintings by the impressionist artist Claude Monet, capturing the interplay of light and architecture in his celebrated works. The Rouen Cathedral continues to be a beacon of cultural and historical significance in France.
