Bourges - Cathédrale Saint-Étienne
The "Cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Bourges" was erected as a replacement for an 11th-century structure. The construction started probably in the last quarter of the 12th century, around the same time when the builders and bricklayers started in Chartres. The choir of the cathedral was in use by 1214, the nave was finished 1255. The cathedral was consecrated in 1324.
The cathedral covers a surface of 5,900 m². The nave is 15 metres wide and 37 metres high, the inner aisle is 21.3 metres high. There are no transepts, but two aisles on either side forming a double ambulatory around the choir. The western facade was finished by 1270. It is very wide (42m), as the four side aisles and central nave each have their own portal.
There two older portals, that once were part of the Romanesque cathedral, that got demolished and was replaced end of the 12th century, by the structure seen today.
As I have uploaded already so many photos I took during earlier visits (just search "Bourges" on my stream), I will ad only a few more for now. some of them just small details like this one.
One of the Virgin´s arm is pretty long.
