La Cathédrale Saint-Pierre

Beauvais

Beauvais Cathedral aimed for the heavens and almost made it. Its Gothic choir soars 48 meters high, the tallest ever built, but the nave was never finished after the 150-meter tower collapsed. The result is hauntingly beautiful: a masterpiece of ambition, failure, and resilience.
