Chartres Cathedral is located in Chartres, France and is considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture. It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and its design and details remain fully intact, preserving its original appearance. The cathedral was rebuilt after a fire in 1194 and its striking design elements like pointed arches, flying buttresses, and ribbed vaults helped support its structure. Its ornate sculptures, stained glass windows, and other religious artwork were meant to offer a spiritual experience for visitors.
