Notre-Dame de Paris (French: [nɔtʁə dam də paʁi] (About this sound listen); meaning "Our Lady of Paris"), also known as Notre-Dame Cathedral or simply Notre-Dame, is a medieval Catholic cathedral on the Île de la Cité in the fourth arrondissement of Paris, France.[3] The cathedral is widely considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture, and it is among the largest and best-known church buildings in the Catholic Church in France, and in the world. The naturalism of its sculptures and stained glass serve to contrast it with earlier Romanesque architecture. In the 1790s, Notre-Dame suffered desecration in the radical phase of the French Revolution when much of its religious imagery was damaged or destroyed. An extensive restoration supervised by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc began in 1845. Construction began in 1163 during the reign of Louis VII, Construction of the choir took from 1163 until around 1177 and the new High Altar was consecrated in 1182 . The most significant change in design came in the mid 13th century, when the transepts were remodeled in the latest Rayonnant style; in the late 1240s Jean de Chelles added a gabled portal to the north transept topped off by a spectacular rose window. Shortly afterwards (from 1258) Pierre de Montreuil executed a similar scheme on the southern transept. 1160 Maurice de Sully (named Bishop of Paris) orders the original cathedral demolished. 1163 Cornerstone laid for Notre-Dame de Paris; construction begins. 1182 Apse and choir completed. 1196 Bishop Maurice de Sully dies. c.1200 Work begins on western facade. 1208 Bishop Eudes de Sully dies.
