CHARTRES CATHEDRAL – BUILT IN THE 13TH CENTURY, CHARTRES, FRANCE

Located about 50 miles away from Paris is the Chartres Cathedral. Considered to be a “high point of French Gothic art” this 13th-century structure was built over the site of an older church that had burned down. One of the additions that was made to the church during its reconstruction was a series of 167 ornate stained glass windows, which have largely remained intact to this day.
