巴黎圣母院大教堂是一座位于塞纳河畔、法国巴黎市中心的哥特式基督教教堂建筑。它的地位、历史价值无与伦比,是历史上最为辉煌的建筑之一。没有景点能像巴黎圣母院一样代表法国。其主要竞争对手是埃菲尔铁塔,也是法国的标志性建筑。不过,虽然埃菲尔铁塔有差不多一个世纪的历史,但巴黎圣母院从13世纪开始就已昂首矗立至今。
Many churches, cathedrals and abbeys in Europe are in the gothic style. The flying buttress,one distinctive characteristic of the gothic architecture, is an effective combination of utility with ornament. The Notre Dame was not originally designed with the flying buttress. When the wall was built higher and higher, it could not carry the weight. So the architects added the flying buttress to support it in the form of the beautiful arch.
欧洲的许多大小教堂和修道院都是哥特风格的。哥特式建筑的特征之一是飞拱,它是实用和装饰的有效结合。最初设计巴黎圣母院时并没有飞拱,当墙越盖越高,却开始支撑不了其重量,于是建筑师们才加入了这些形状漂亮的飞拱来加以支撑。
