text

This cathedral at Reims, France, represents the peak of the High Gothic architectural style. Built between 1211 and 1300, the church was used for coronations of the French monarchy. The cathedral exhibits characteristically Gothic attributes such as three-tier elevation, three-part vaults, shafted piers, flying buttresses, and gargoyles.
