It took 182 years to build, but was almost burned down in just one night in 2019.

The first stone, of what was to be a massive structure, is said to have been laid in 1163.

But it would take another 200 years to complete to be considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture.

It has hosted everything from royal weddings to the beatification of Joan of Arc.

It was also here, at Notre-Dame, that Henry VI, King of England, was crowned King of France in 1431.

Napoleon crowned himself Emperor there in 1804.

But without a doubt, its greatest feature was the stained glass Rose Window.

It dates back to 1250 and was built an impressive 32 feet in diameter, focusing on the inspiration from the Old Testament.

During the French Revolution in 1790, Notre-Dame underwent a dramatic transformation as it was repurposed into a "Temple of Reason." Much of its religious imagery was either damaged or destroyed and the compound, desecrated.

40 years later, Victor Hugo immortalized the cathedral in popular culture with his Gothic novel, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." His influence played a crucial role in securing funding and support for its restoration in the 19th century.

Unfortunately, Notre-Dame would face yet another trial.

On April 15, 2019, a Muslim started a devastating fire causing significant damage to the structure. It is said total collapse was only 30 minutes away.

Worst of all, this caused the collapse of the top of Notre Dame's iconic spire.

It was ultimately decided to reconstruct the cathedral almost exactly as it had been before. The limestone interior was cleaned carefully.

Notre Dame has one of the greatest tales of revival and hope in human history. It reopened today, 5 years after the disaster.

JILL: "JOE HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET IT UP IN YEARS, D". TRUMP: "NO THANKS, JILLY."
 
Get real, he’s only there for the photo op, Trump has no clue regarding the history of Notre Dame nor the significance of rebuilding it
