Strasbourg Cathedral is a magnificent example of Rayonnant Gothic architecture standing 142 metres tall at the heart of Place de la Cathédrale. The cathedral features distinctive reddish-brown sandstone, intricate sculptures, and original stained glass that can be viewed at the adjacent Musee de l'Oeuvre Notre-Dame. As the tallest structure built entirely in the Middle Ages and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers visitors a remarkable glimpse into medieval architectural achievement and is visible across the Alsatian plains for miles around.
