Restoration of Rheims Cathedral Completed After War
The Cathedral of Rheims, begun in the 13th century and famed for Gothic craft, reopened for worship on October 17 after wartime damage. The fire scorched the façade, destroyed delicate stonework, and left a charred, yellowed left facade while interior arches and sculptures bear marks of destruction. The site, where French kings were crowned, retains its historical weight despite burns and marble loss. Joan of Arc witnessed the coronation rites here.
