Though the fire is out, damage to the Notre Dame Cathedral was extensive. Take a look at what the beloved landmark looked like before, after and during the blaze:
he structure of the Notre Dame Cathedral has been saved from a massive fire that had threatened to gut the 800-year-old landmark in Paris, fire officials said late Monday.
The blaze collapsed the cathedral’s spire and spread to one of its rectangular towers. But Paris Fire Chief Jean-Claude Gallet said the church’s main structure had been saved after firefighters prevented the flames from spreading to the northern belfry. The damage to the building, however, was extensive. "Two-thirds of the roofing has been ravaged,” and firefighters would work through the night to cool down the building, Gallet said.Notre Dame Cathedral is photographed from the top of the Jussieu University tower in Paris, France, 29 September 2016.
