"Partly built starting in 1145, and then reconstructed over a 26-year
period after the fire of 1194, Chartres Cathedral marks the high point
of French Gothic art. The vast nave, in pure ogival style, the porches
adorned with fine sculptures from the middle of the 12th century, and
the magnificent 12th- and 13th-century stained-glass windows, all in
remarkable condition, combine to make it a masterpiece." -http://whc.unesco.org
