Notre Dame Cathedral’s New Interior Revealed 5 Years After Fire

Andrew Anglin November 30, 2024

If you’re not French, you probably forgot that someone burned down one of the most iconic churches in Europe. But someone did burn it down, more than five years ago. We never found out who burned it down, and it was ruled to be a spontaneous combustion.

Now, after all this time, they’ve finally rebuilt it.

I must say, it looks very nice and there is no evidence of anything gay.

After more than five years of frenetic, but sometimes interrupted, reconstruction work, Notre Dame Cathedral showed itself anew to the world Friday, with rebuilt soaring ceilings and creamy good-as-new stonework erasing somber memories of its devastating fire in 2019.

Images broadcast live of a site visit by French President Emmanuel Macron showed the inside of the iconic cathedral as worshippers might have experienced it in previous centuries, its wide, open spaces filled with bright light on a crisp and sunny winter’s day that lit up the vibrant colors of the stained glass windows.

Outside, the monument is still a construction site, with scaffolding and cranes. But the renovated interior — shown in its full glory Friday for the first time before the public is allowed back in on Dec. 8 — proved to be breathtaking.

Gone are the gaping holes that the blaze tore into the vaulted ceilings, leaving charred piles of debris. New stonework has been carefully pieced together to repair and fill the wounds that had left the cathedral’s insides exposed to the elements. Delicate golden angels look on from the centerpiece of one of the rebuilt ceilings, seeming to fly again above the transept.

The cathedral’s bright, cream-colored limestone walls look brand new, cleaned not only of dust from the fire but also of grime that had accumulated for centuries.

The cathedral attracted millions of worshippers and visitors annually before the April 15, 2019, fire forced its closure and turned the monument in the heart of Paris into a no-go zone except to artisans, architects and others mobilized for the reconstruction.

I must say, I’m impressed.

You’d expect modern gay France to just leave the church to rot.

For the record, France is not really as gay as most of the rest of Western Europe.

They might even be less gay than Ireland at this point.


Good on them.
