The Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg is a Roman Catholic church which is one of the most important cathedrals in European architectural history and one of the largest sandstone buildings in the world. Like the city of Strasbourg in general, the Liebfrauen-Münster also combines German and French cultural influences.

It was built between 1176 and 1439 from pink Vosges sandstone in Romanesque and Gothic styles. From 1647 to 1874, the cathedral with its 142 metre high tower was the highest building in the world and the highest completed building in the Middle Ages. In the years 1870 and 1944 the building was damaged by bombardments, the ornamentation of the figures and the interior decoration were damaged in the course of the Reformation iconoclasm, the recatholization in 1681 and the French Revolution, in part considerably. Since 1281 at the latest, the Œuvre Notre-Dame has officially been responsible for the construction and maintenance of the cathedral.
