Cathedral of Reims
The Reims cathedral has been rebuilt over many
different churches throughout history some
dating back as early as 400 AD. Its most recent
iteration is due to a devastating fire that
destroyed a previous church in 1211 causing it to
be rebuilt and finished in 1275.

This pictures shows the many different
restorations this church went through. It seems
like theirs a piece of every church iteration
embedded within the structure.
