Isn't it owned by the government?Lol donations , as if the church isn't loaded. They're gonna gets tons of money from folks too
I have no clue to be completely honest 🤷🏾♂️
could this event lead to a Gothic Revival in architecture from what we saw during the Victorian era?

Yeah, 100s of years from now historians will discuss this event.We are simply passing through history. This... This is history.
Still going on on the roof as it will take hours to drown the embers inside the 800 years old massive pieces of wood, but under control now.
There's not much more to say about the meaning of Notre Dame than this.We are simply passing through history. This... This is history.
Yes but in order to reside there, the church pays for upkeep.
Truly the Dark Souls of historic architecture 😗Looked at the wiki
It reminds me of Anor Londo in the souls games.
You'd think maybe the ultra rich Catholic church would foot the bill, but I guess that's a big ask.
This is probably bait, but sure I'll bite.If I was a religious person, I'd say this was a sign of some sort.
Yeah I mean if this actually was an accident, the insurance will cover it. The construction company working on it will have to have taken out a massive policy before being allowed to start work.
Restoration of St. Patricks Cathederal in NYC was over 175 million dollars and that was with no major structural damage etc. Realistically it could be half a billion or more for Notre DameHow much would restorations even cost? Would it really be over 100 million?
Also good luck to company in charge of rebuilding. They are going to be under a lot of scrutiny
A sign of someone accidentally burning down an old building? A sign of what, exactly?If I was a religious person, I'd say this was a sign of some sort.
The UK Houses of Parliament renovation will cost 3 Billion.How much would restorations even cost? Would it really be over 100 million?

I mean... Trump actually suggested to use water bombers to kill the fire so Elon has a lot to work toward if he wants to beat that lolI'm actually waiting for Elon Musk to come up with some stupid idea without contributing anything.

The Church's property policy will cover it if it's an accident or not. As long as the church themselves didn't intentionally set the fire.
Wasn't bait. Just that people use religion as a weapon, and it wouldn't surprise me to wield this in some way.This is probably bait, but sure I'll bite.
I am a religious person. If this is a sign of something, then sure. We'll know what it is in time. Could be that we're not taking care of the planet as we should, or it could be that we shouldn't take things for granted. I don't know. But that isn't important right now.
A beautiful piece of history is being destroyed. So right now we mourn with those that mourn and comfort those who need comfort. As tragic as this is, the best thing is that no one was killed and that pieces were saved.
It's a medieval building made of wood and stone... If the fire catches in the wooden roof (like it looks like it happened) it can go quickly.Man... How the fuck did an accident cause this much of a fire? I mean I know fires can spread really quickly but still. That's insane.
Centuries old wood that's dry would've caught fire a lot quickerMan... How the fuck did an accident cause this much of a fire? I mean I know fires can spread really quickly but still. That's insane.
I just can't be too sure anymore so I posted that just to be safe! I'm super sorry Books! I did mean what I said though. I'm crushed that the building is in flames but I'm ecstatic that everyone is okay. At the end that helps the sense of loss that everyone is feeling.Wasn't bait.

Just catching up with this news. I couldn't believe it at first because we're talking about one of the most treasured buildings in history, it's like if the Mona Lisa got burnt to ashes! But now I'm truly relieved to see that the interior and main structure of the Notre Dame is fine for the most part. Visiting there is still on my bucket list. Though it'll probably take a while till it gets restored AND opened to public again...

Oooh that makes much more sense. For some reason I was under the impression that it was pretty much all stonework and that the rooms would be isolated enough to contain the fires/damage. Guess that shows how much I know medieval architecture.Centuries old wood that's dry would've caught fire a lot quicker
For sure that's the important part. And ultimately, it can and will be rebuilt eventually. If it can survive the French Revolution, it can survive anythingmI just can't be too sure anymore so I posted that just to be safe! I'm super sorry Books! I did mean what I said though.
