Notre Dame is one in a long line of cathedrals that have been ravaged by calamities.
Flames engulf the roof of Notre Dame in Paris on Monday. By Emily Tamkin Emily Tamkin Reporter covering foreign affairs Email Bio Follow April 15 at 6:53 PM The fire that engulfed Notre Dame in Paris on Monday, severely damaging a building that had stood for more than eight centuries, felt unprecedented.
A New Year's Eve fireworks display illuminates the sky over the Dom Tower on Jan. 1, 2012, in Utrecht, Netherlands. St. Martin’s, Utrecht, 1253 In the late 14th century, the bishop of Barcelona, Pere Planella, consecrated this cathedral. While the basilica withstood different kinds of turmoil through the ages, nothing, per the cathedral’s website, quite compares to July 1936, when Santa Maria Del Mar was set on fire. It burned for 11 days straight.
The Cologne Cathedral was tested by multiple wars. In 1794, the Rhineland was occupied by French Revolution troops. The cathedral was used for, among other things, a detention center for prisoners of war. In 1797 and 1798, prisoners used the nave’s wood furnishings for firewood. It wasn’t until 1821 that the Archdiocese of Cologne was reestablished . Nevertheless, the two towers of the cathedral were completed in the 1860s and ’70s.
