On Monday April 15, at around 7pm, fire ripped through the iconic Notre Dame cathedral in Paris. By 9am the following day, the 850-year-old masterpiece of French Gothic architecture had suffered catastrophic damage to its roof and some of its contents, while the 90m-high oak and lead spire over the crossing had collapsed completely – to the horror of stunned onlookers.

What had taken nearly 200 years to build had suffered almost irreparable damage. Fortunately, the Paris authorities were later to confirm that the structure itself has not been irreversibly damaged.

Thanks in part to the action of the 90 firefighters, the fire did not reach the towers on the front elevation, and generally the building’s walls are structurally sound. But the timber roof has been completely destroyed, as have some of the timber artefacts, such as the crown of thorns. However, it is early days and full damage assessment has yet to be undertaken.

Within hours of the fire, president Macron vowed that the cathedral would be rebuilt as French businessmen pledged over €300m to the rebuilding fund. Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, promised that city funds would go toward the rebuilding project, while the Ile-de-France regional government said it would donate a further €10m. An international fund-raising drive is expected will further boost the monies available.

The fire’s origin is as yet uncertain but is thought to be from the ongoing renovation works. It is clear however, that the fire probably started in the roof space above the stone vaults of the interior, as the fire would have taken a very long time to spread to the roof had it have started on the ground.
