Chartres Cathedral

The medieval Gothic cathedral was in manyways a civic building as well as a religious one.

This particularly was the case with the famouscathedral Notre-Dame de Chartres (Our Ladyof Chartres) in the town of the same name,80km south-east of Paris, built in the 13thcentury. Chartres cathedral was planned notonly as a place of worship, but also developedas the centre of the town's economy and wayof life, as the place that housed the relic of the

cloak of the Virgin Mary. The local citizensassisted the building of the cathedral byproviding the labour, giving food to theworkers and donating money to pay for itsconstruction. The architecture of the cathedraldominated the town in the way that modernskyscrapers are the centre civic buildingstoday. Many of the decorations in the

cathedral such as the thousands of sculpturesand beautiful stained glass windows weredonated by guilds and tradespeople of thetown. People visited Chartres for the fairs heldon the feasts of the Virgin, a major place fortrade. Townspeople also used the majesticcathedral and its grounds for business.Medieval cathedrals such as Chartres show the

strength and majesty of the Catholic church.
