HAYLEY HINES

Strasbourg, a mixed-race city on the German-French border, is the most impressive of all, the Cathedral of Strasbourg, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture that towers high and has been the focus of a long-running struggle between France and Germany. Built in 1176 and completed in 263, it stood in front of the church and looked up at its spire as if it could touch God's heaven. The church building is made of pink sandstone rock, shining in the sun with a dreamy pink highlight, complementing the stone carvings of the wall. On the top of the front, there is a 142-meter-high minarets on one side and a platform on the other. It should have been a symmetrical minarets, and why it was not repaired, for many reasons, the most one is because of insufficient financial resources. Stepping into the church, the huge space inside, the solemn religious atmosphere, people unconsciously hold their breath, a dazzling stained glass window, as if telling the story of thousands of years here, there is an 18th century astronomical clock in the church, It can calculate leap years, eclipses, lunar eclipses and various major festivals, and above the clock, there will be children, youth, adulthood, and old age every 15 minutes, four people occasionally appear, which symbolizes a cycle, everyone has to go through these four stages, no one can leave. If the cathedral of Cologne is shadow and charm, and it is black and white to shock mortals in the alternation of light and shadow, then the cathedral of Strasbourg is love and love, and to appease all beings with the unique tenderness of France.
