Notre Dame Cathedral is a world-famous cathedral located in Paris, France. It is named after the Virgin Mary. The Gothic building is situated on the eastern part of the Île de la Cité, on the banks of the Seine, like all other important buildings of Paris. The entrance to Notre Dame Cathedral faces west.

Known as the most outstanding example of French gothic architecture, Notre Dame is also one of the first gothic cathedrals and was built throughout the gothic period. The fact that the sculptures and inlaid glass contain a worldly nature, which is not seen after the medieval Roman architectural style, is due to the intense influence of the naturalism movement on the works.

Notre Dame Cathedral is a popular tourist destination and is still considered a Roman Catholic cathedral and houses the archdiocese of Paris. (André Vingt-Trois has held the post since February 15, 2005.) It is possible to reach Notre Dame Cathedral with Metro-M.svgParis Metro 4.svg Cité and Metro-M.SVG Paris Metro 4.SVG Saint-Michel metro stops. Due to a fire on April 15, 2019, a large part of Notre Dame Cathedral was damaged and became dysfunctional.

A statue of the Virgin Mary is located in Notre Dame Cathedral. (She is known as "The Maiden of Paris.") It was built during a time of abundance by local merchants who saw the Notre Dame Cathedral as the pride of the city and a symbol of the new economic freedom. This statue, which draws attention with its poor aesthetic appearance as well as its expensive decoration, evokes arrogant wealth to some observers rather than religious worship.

These windows on both wings of Notre Dame have a late gothic style and were made between 1250 and 1260. The class is evident from the fact that they are raised on the wall in contrast to the sunken window in the west façade, which is an early Gothic work. The "victory of Jesus" is told from the New Testament in the south window.

Notre Dame de Paris is one of the first buildings in the world to use buttresses separate from the main building. In the original design of the building, these buttresses do not exist. However, after the construction started, as the thin walls used in gothic architecture got higher, cracks began on the walls due to the outward tensions. Flying buttresses providing support have been considered to prevent further deterioration. They have been criticized for many years, and it has been claimed that they look like "scaffolding that someone forgot to remove," giving the cathedral an "unfinished" air.
